About this video

Old maps, a secret location and a deliberately false trail build the wartime history behind Hammer's artifact. What the Germans wanted survived in memory, and one recurring feature in the records points the modern investigation onward.

Context

This is fictional wartime backstory from Hammer, not a documentary claim about a historical German expedition or a particular Pashtun community. The officers, chieftains, hidden object and destroyed ruins are elements of the novel's constructed mythology.
