In the Ore Mountains and in Thuringia, the mining company Wismut, which was subordinated to the Soviet Ministry of Defense, began mining uranium in 1946 for the nuclear armament of the USSR under Stalin in response to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By the end of the GDR, about half a million people had produced 220,000 tons of uranium. Thousands of them lost their lives. Looking back, "Wismut" portrays one of the world's greatest environmental disasters.
