In der Nacht auf Dienstag features Heinz Engelmann again as a tough but human high commissioner who has to find the connection of many different small and medium size offenses of one single night in order to find the murderer of a young woman. We get the feeling that hundreds of policemen are out each night to keep the country quiet.
Beside the regular quip about salary (What can you steal from a retired police officer? Nothing!) there is a funny scene with a secretary who complains about policemen not lifting their hat in front of a corpse. Another recurring theme are the unusual work hours of policemen but also pokes fun of officers who take it easy or can type only with two fingers and so on.
Although Nazi Germany and WWII seemed to have been off Limits for the script writer of the show, every now and then you can hear small remarks, often done in a throw-away fashion. In this episode a former policeman mutters, that he isn't rich since he is not a former Gauleiter. Gauleiter has been the Nazis title for the heads of the various provinces in Germany and the occupied countries. In another scene, when the year 1942 is mentioned, someone starts, oh, then I have been... and doesn't finish his comment.
Although this episode runs only 73 minutes it appears to be much longer thanks to the tight packed storyline and the fast editing.
