Now one question is easy for me (beacuase I was born in Halle/Saale):
2. Leuna Werke "Walter Ulbricht" (near Merseburg, former Bezirk Halle)
And now I also know an official with christian´s name "Arno": Arno Berthold;
but you cannot mean him because he was the first chairman of the GSt in Halle?

correct Dirk

Arno Berthold is correct.He was the Leader of the GST from 7th/Aug/52 to 15th/March/1955
(chairman of the GST from 1st/July/1952 until he became the Leader)

only Question No. 4 left open

[AR-11]

Hey Thälmannpionier,

I want repeat my question: As far as I know was Arno Berthold the first chairman of the GST-Bezirksvorstand Halle/Saale?!?!? You mean he was the chairman of the whole GST? Hmm, what is korrect?

And another little correction from an old "Hallenser" BUNA (comes from Buthadien-Natrium= a kind of chemical rubber) was called: "VEB Kombinat Chemische Werke Buna"...
(Sorry that I am a smart-ass with that...)

No in no reason. Too many hints were given...

Thälmannpionier, the pic looks like a part of the "S+T" (Sport und Technik) the paper of the GST. Am I right?

well, someone has to win the question to move on to the next one...what do you think Andreas??... I no longer read the S+T after I left school, but the article certainly does not look like one that would have come from a pre-1985 issue??....they used different, cheaper paper and the printing and colours were more like normal newspaper style...or did they change the format of the S+T after 1985??...I think the article would be from some kind of book about the GST??? Cheers, Torsten.

Hi


This is the Book where I got all the Informations from...

[torstenbel]

Andreas, never seen that book before...? I guess, it is a DDR published book? Cheers, Torsten.

[Thälmannpionier]

the answer to question No. 4 is: KK-110 was the first sport-riffle,handed out to the GST Units.

hmmm? Torsten answered the 1st Question correct and Dirk was very close to the 2nd Question and answered the 3rd Question correct.

I will ask a final Question to find a winner for this round.

This one is a bit easier....It's still about the GST.

What is the name of the first motorcycle used within the GST???
Hint: 3 Letters...
Who answers this one first and correct is the Winner of this Round.

Good Luck
Andreas
