In 1996 Milde re-joined Dynamo Dresden, who had since been demoted to the third-tier Regionalliga Nordost. He partnered another Dynamo veteran, Torsten Gütschow, for the next two seasons, and both scored prolifically, but the club were unable to return to the second tier. In 1998 Milde signed for FSV Zwickau, who had just been relegated to the Regionalliga Nordost, and formed a successful striking partnership with the Serbian forward Veselin Popovic. However, the Regionalliga was to be re-structured at the end of the 1999–2000 season, and this combined with a poor start meant that Zwickau were effectively relegated with the season half over. Many players left the club, with Milde joining Dresdner SC along with team-mates René Beuchel and René Groß.
