The question:
'nAbend fellow forum-members!
What I've been wondering for some time now: did the Bundesmarine use Volksmarine uniforms after 1990, with Bundesmarine ranks on them (most likely just after the end of the DDR)?
I have seen, for example in Grenzfliegers collection, that the VM changed the rank stripes on their own uniforms during the wendezeit in 1990, but (untill very recently) never seen a picture of a VM tunic with BM ranks (never looked for it, too)... The specific jacket was stamped 1989, so perhaps a leftover from some factory, if not worn prior?
So, would this have been possible (for example with a former VM-officer who decided (and was allowed) to keep his old jacket) in the early 90's?
Thanks
