and 1969 the Dakota chief Far-sighted Falcon, in 1970 the Shoshone Shave Head, in 1971 the Seminole Osceola, in 1972 Tecumseh, in 1973 and 1974 the Apache chief Ulzana, in 1975 the Cheyenne Harter Felsen, in 1978 the Manzanero Severino and in 1983 the Nez Percé White Feather. In addition to Eastern Europe, Mitić also became known in Africa and Asia through the DEFA films. He was in front of the camera for at least one film every year until 1975, playing almost exclusively Indian chiefs. In order to avoid his easily audible accent, Mitić, although he speaks fluent German, was dubbed. The fact that he actually performed all the stunts himself as an actor, such as Horse Running and in various other scenes, gave his portrayal of the heroic character a high degree of credibility. In 1976, the GDR rock group Express paid homage to him in their song Ein Wigwam steht in Babelsberg. From the summer of 1976 Mitić was seen for the first time with the role of Spartacus in the Harz Mountain Theater Thale. There he played mostly adventure plays until 1984, which were also recorded for East German television. However, Mitić did not only shoot Indian films. He acted in the theatre, at times he also stood in front of the camera for science fiction (Signals - A Space Adventure) and television productions (Archive of Death, Front without Mercy). Renate Blume was his film partner several times, with whom he lived for a number of years in the 1970s. In addition to acting, Mitić has also appeared as a singer (1977 with Löscht das Feuer (music: Arndt Bause), 2010 reissued by Engel B. in a more modern guise; 1978 with A Man Can Tell a Lot) and moderator (Ein Kessel Buntes, gong) on. From 1981 to 1989 he directed five films in the children's series Jan and Tini, for which he also wrote the screenplays. In 1988 he took on his last Indian role for GDR television in the two-part DEFA television film Prairie Hunters in Mexico based on the novel by Karl May. Post-Communism After the fall of communism, Mitić played smaller roles again (The Movie Narrator, Burning Life, Heroes Like Us); from 1992 he took over the role of Winnetou as successor to Pierre Brice at the Karl May Games in Bad Segeberg.
