The DDR reenacted

[Rodian]

Genossen,
The Model of E Tool and Carrier was used by Fj and Pioneers.

The bottom button has failed in its Combat Mission..... It has been Noted.

Genosse iannima, is well aware of the importance of doing it up.

Thanks for the info on the E-tool , Genosse

Genossen,

Fraternal Military Advisers to the Yak Breeders and Steel Producers State of Felixstan discussing the importance of a Planned Political pricing stratagem in the Red Banner Souq Complex no 16Π.

Well done! Is your Kamrad from our Socialist brothers in Poland or
Tschechoslowakia?

Genosse , I've managed to track down a mint condition , first generation e-tool carrier along with the spade to go with it... the type most commonly seen. Also, my shoulderboards and gasmask bag has arrived.

I'm just waiting for the other odds and ends and then I should have a complete summer and winter impression circa 1970's - 1980's

Though there is one thing that's a bit hard for me to get : A set of East German AK furniture ... the plastic type. Since all the sellers I've found thus far only ship within the US

be carefull with those EG-AK furniture set as they do not every *country of origin* type AK , you dont want to go wasting money on something that doesn't fit.

I'm planning on modding it to fit an airsoft rifle anyway , since deactivated AK's are nonexistant in South Africa

Thank you! My knowledge of uniforms and equipment of other WP nations is strictly limited to what is published in the back of my Grundwissen.
Mrs. Jkeegen would not be pleased if my DDR collecting turned into a Waffenbruderschaft . . . although she won't know the difference between the strichtarn of the NVA, CSLA, and Polische Armee

[BFVGunner]

Anyone know which semi AK's that are currently on the market in the US, that the East German furnature will fit? Seems like gunbroker is a good source for a set.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Any stamped 1mm thick reciever AK will work fine with E German furniture. I have a set on my WASR 10. The main thing is that it is stamped not milled.

How to wear stuff : sizes, style

I have questions about sizes and styles. How to wear the strichtarn uniforms for it to be correct? Do I have the right sizes? Most of the stuff in combat uniform I got is 48M, amd I think it's ok but maybe a little bit short for me (I'm 1m77, 75kg); anyway when I look at NVA pictures it seems that sometimes soldiers of the NVA wear the summer combat uniform really close to the body, arms really short, and sometimes not, they have larger/bigger jackets. In the other hand My KG jacket is 52m and it feels really too large. It's possible that it depends also on the style of the period (people used to wear clothes really close to the body in the 70's for example). Do you have opinions/suggestions?

The summer FDA should be fairly tight fitting and you will need to try and figure out what the right size is for you by trial and error and eventually you will find the right size to fit you.

A little sample pics of some NVA officer students (front row) and some NVA reservist officers (back row) in summer FDA. I am on the right in the front row. Cheers, Torsten.

Genosse, look to a g48, I hate short arms.



Genossen torstenbel,
I now see that before I just deploy at a gigs as KdA I can send some time as a Reservist if I wear a lower rank for my age..... apart from their age and waist's was there any other way of identify them from other NVA Genossen?.

Thanks Genosse torstenbel for the reminder....

Are you in this photo by chance?, your grateful public await...
