Summary: Kiessling Files Law Suit (Press, 20 January 1984)
On 20 January 1984, General Guenter Kiessling of West Germany initiated legal proceedings against Defence Minister Mr Manfred Woerner following his dismissal a month earlier, which stemmed from suspicions regarding his sexual orientation and alleged security risks. Kiessling's lawyer revealed that the lawsuit was filed in the Cologne City Court, claiming that Kiessling was denied access to the comprehensive details surrounding the reasons for his termination. The general is seeking vindication through this legal action, aiming for an official acknowledgment that his firing was unwarranted, with the ultimate goal of having his dismissal overturned.
