I came across an curious exercise in Neukirch's algebraic number theory book. Exercise 2 page 176 (Chapter II section 9) asks the following
Prove that the maximal tamely ramified abelian extension V of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is finite over the maximal unramified extension $\mathbb{Q}_p^{nr}$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$.
I suspect that this is wrong because one can always consider the extensions
$$ L_n = \mathbb{Q}_p^{nr} (p^{\frac{1}{p^n - 1}}) $$
$L_n$ is tamely ramified and has degree $p^n - 1$ since $X^{p^n - 1} - p$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ (by Eisenstein criterion).
Am I missing something here?
Here is why I think $L_n$ is an abelian extension.
Call $K_n = Q_p^{nr}(p^{1/n})$ for $n$ prime to $p$. The extension $K_n/Q_p$ (I think) is abelian for all $n$ prime to $p$ and here is why:
It suffices to show that $K_n/Q_p^{nr}$ is abelian (since $Q_p^{nr}/Q_p$ is already abelian).
Any $Q_p^{nr}$-linear automorphism $\sigma$ of $K_n$ is determined by the image $\sigma(p^{1/n})$.
The Galois group elements of $Gal(K_n/Q_p^{nr})$ are then the elements $\sigma_i$ with
$$\sigma_i(p^{1/n}) = p^{1/n} \zeta_{n}^{i}$$
for $i = 0, 1, \dots, n-1$ and these commute since $\zeta_n$ ( a primitive $n$-th root of the unit) is in $Q_p^{nr}$.
$$ \sigma_i \sigma_j(p^{1/n}) = \zeta_{n}^{i} \zeta_{n}^{j} p^{1/n}$$
