Well let me try my luck at posting a trivia question on the DDR forum...
Who was the first Berlin/East Berlin Police chief when the Soviet's established a police force at the end of WWII?Last edited by Ralph Pickard; 02-25-2006, 08:05 PM.Somebody, after all, had to make a start.

I know that Paul Markgraf was the first President of the Police, Berlin.

Thanks Mike...Well since I am on a roll...let me try my luck one more time...
During the Cold War, the East German capital was East Berlin, but during the early years and specifically during the Berlin blockade of 1948/49 plans were being prepared to establish an a new East German government. During these plans sources were saying that the capital would be established in a East German city.
Question - Where was the first capital rumored to be established in East Germany?Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did. Quote - Sophie Scholl - White Rose resistance groupComment

Berlin still had no Borders at this Time and was not really the best place for the East German Administration to be capital of East Germany.
Therefor alot of earlyEvents were hold in Leipzig instead of Berlin i.E. The "Messe" or
the "Turn & Sportfest"Comment

Andreas - You are correct and a good guess. Congrats!!!

Ok I'll hazard a few guesses. I do not believe it was the Wherdienstausweis that was carried in a particular pocket. Internal passport, Dog tags, party membership book, money, gum?Comment

I was told that only money was carried in that pouch...
I use it to carry around the de-activation certificate of my MPiK

PS: A hint: not every NVA Soldier carried one of these pouches...Last edited by torstenbel; 05-31-2006, 02:49 AM.Comment
