The ex-defense minister now has things that he once missed: touches of self-mockery and a cleanly earned doctorate, for example. And what else was going on in exile? About someone who stayed away for a long time and is now doing docutainment.

Long before he worked professionally for television, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg gave the Germans unforgettable television moments. Unforgotten is the pre-Christmas visit to the troops in Afghanistan, which Guttenberg, when he was Minister of Defense at the time, was transparently accompanied by Sat1 presenter Johannes B. Kerner, who did not appear in the uniform of a corporal, but with the appropriate obedience. That was in 2010, and the future career prospects of the minister were just as bright as the sky over the Hindu Kush and the laughter of his wife Stephanie while picking up supplies alongside our soldiers. At that time, many Germans, including Guttenberg himself, could well imagine that one day the man would receive Kerner for the home story in the Chancellery.
