it would be really helpful if the original German version is also uploaded! Thanks for your consideration.

There are already too many errors and missing informations in the english translation according to the very limited recognizable german audiotrack. It would be a wrong representation of the Speaker if only this version is made public.

[@bohdankryzsanowsky2674]

Original german version with english subtitles would be great.
