Steffen Kopetzky: Codes from Peenemünde Steffen Kopetzky in conversation with Manfred Osten, Usedomer Literaturtage, April 15 - 18, 2026 "Border Crossings"
The Usedom Literature Days will open on April 15 at 19:30 in the Kaiserbädersaal in the seaside resort of Heringsdorf. From there, author Steffen Kopetzky 's espionage thriller "Atom" will take his readers just a few kilometers away to Peenemünde, the site of V1 and V2 weapons production. He unfolds a gripping story about the struggle for the first atomic bomb in the shadow of the Cold War, linked to Hans Kammler and Wernher von Braun, and the discussion with Manfred Osten following the reading will raise the question of what truth and morality mean in the age of advancing science.
