Lost Cause. Return to Bischofswerda.

This is a film about a part of my life, the part that twisted with the Cold War period unexpectedly. From 1963 till 1966 I was in active service, in a Saxon town Bischofswerda, at a small garrison where a Soviet missile battalion was stationed. This is a film about history of the town that got into focus of world attention then, in 1987 when the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty was concluded by the USSR and USA. It is accepted that this treaty put an end to the Cold War. So, a Soviet missile brigade was withdrawn from Bischofswerda in the typical Soviet manner of propaganda actions, with great fanfares, numerous press and TV men of various nations present at the ceremony.
