Die vergessene Armee

Die vergessene Armee

Signe Astrup, Danish Berliner-by-choice, pays attention to former NVA soldiers. They still meet in uniform to keep the GDR in honors. The film addresses a painful subject, which continues 30 years after the "turnaround": The feeling of humiliation and devaluation by the West. Because she does not evaluate, but asks, Astrup gains the trust of former, members, families and new fans. In some curious scenes, military attitude but also feelings of guilt and criticism are revealed. A contradictory, highly charged picture emerges.
