    considering the Golf MK1 in next photo which was only available in East Germany around 1978, it has to be something like 1978-1982 considering how new the car looks. www.ddr-museum.de

No need for snow if you have a good imagination and you are strong

IDK, the film was delivered from Serbia. Germany could export such bins.

there a golf mk1 in one of the photos too and Perfekta camera held by one of the kids. Unless those are from different film they are all East Germany
