France and the GDR - Friendship During the Cold War

Original title: Amour fou im Kalten Krieg – Frankreich und die DDR

Directed by Nina Rothermundt

From the end of the Second World War to the fall of the Berlin Wall, France and East Germany maintained links despite the Cold War. As early as 1959, towns in the two countries were twinned and thousands of French workers' children went on holiday camps in the GDR.
