Schwarzes Marken

The anime Schwarzesmarken takes place in 1983 during the Cold War, when Earth is under attack by alien invaders known as BETA. The BETA aim to eradicate human life, prompting the development of Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF) to counter the threat. Led by Captain Irisdina Bernhard, the 666th TSF squadron, a unit known for prioritizing mission objectives over human life, operates from East Germany and specializes in counterattacks against laser-class BETA. The squadron's dynamics are disrupted by the arrival of Katia Waldheim, a rookie with an optimistic attitude, which draws unwanted attention from the Stasi, East Germany's secret police.
