Bump - Lots of discussion about Dirk and Kirk but no answer to my original question - Where (town and location in town) and in what month did the graduates of of the Ernst Th******228;lmann Offiziershochschule der Landstreitkr******228;fte der NVA have their "commissioning" ceremony?

Dirk has the answer. From an original NVA recruting pamphlet that was printed in 1989. It says that, "every year on a Saturday in August the stadium of L******246;bau becomes very festive.

Another two hints......
