Background information[]
- According to the shooting script of TNG: "Home Soil", Kurt Mandl was described as potentially being of German descent (and therefore somewhat stiff) [1]; he was played by the German actor Walter Gotell.
- A pair of metal rigging loops, used as uniform components for the engineer's radiological suit, were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. The two German words "sichern" (to lock) and "abseilen" (to rappel) are engraved on the rigging loops. [2](X)
