Nice collection. I noted you have several "Berlin" pieces which serve nicely to bring the Soviet and DDR pieces together.

Thank you guys for your comments. I'm happy that my girlfriend let me display all those things in our appartment.
Torsten, the steel helmet next to the Lenin head is a Soviet Ssh-36 helmet. These were made by the Soviet army until 1939, when they introduce the Ssh-39 helmet in 1939. These Ssh-36 helmet where also used during WWII by the Soviet army beside the other models they introduced.Comment

Your display is well done!!! You have for sure brought out the Cold War set up.
The framed DDR flag...Is it a flag or poster?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

It's a flag. I bought it few years ago at Rosa-Luxemburg Platz in Berlin in front of the Volksbühne. There is a PDS office out there with a small book store and a DDR store (you can find brand from the DDR times and some groceries). Well that's in this shop that I have bought the DDR flag & I bought the KPD election posters replica at the book store at the same time. (1 DM = 1 poster, that was cheap)Comment

Thanks for the reply. Real or replica, your posters set the your Cold War tone.

It was indeed Zeige who had the Stoph estate. I bought this piece from the man ho bought it at Zeige. This man has a large collection of medals and documents of NVA generals and some other Stoph stuff.
A few months ago I bought a copy of Der Spiegel from 1959. On the cover is Stoph wearing this medal.Comment

I did get the Zeige sales catalogue of the Stoph auction and it was extremely intersting reading/looking, but the prices were way out of my reach...
Cheers, Torsten.
