Genosse Münchhausen (1962)

In his film attempt, Berlin cabaret artist Wolfgang Neuss strings together various sketches to create a story that deals with the division of Germany based on motifs from the Münchhausen legend. A farmer from the western occupation zone crashes as a reconnaissance pilot over the Soviet Union. He returns to the West via the island of Sylt by miraculous means and finally on the back of a rocket. But he finds his future farmland in the East, on the other side of the fence.
