25 years ago today a good revolutionary died. On the 17th of June 1986 a man is dragged out of a lake in the outskirts of East Berlin. He turns out to be the American singer and actor Dean Reed, one of the most mysterious legends of global pop culture during Cold War times. Dean Reed became the protagonist in the former eastern bloc’s favorite conspiracy theory and his myth survived until today. In the Western World hardly anybody ever heard of him, although Dean Reed once had been a famous star in South America, the Arab world and the Eastern Bloc.
