Missile From The East

At the 1961 Swedish Grand Prix, prodigiously talented East German motorcycle racer Ernst Degner fled the East in a heart-stopping escape never-before-told. Risking his life in the hope of freedom, he defected with his family and Stasi-protected engine technology. When he returned to the racetrack the following season with Suzuki, he won the world championship, catapulting the Japanese industrial giant into global domination of the motorcycle industry.
