Hi Matteo,
Watching the "Changing of the Guard" ceremony at the Neue Wache was something my 40th Armor colleagues and I always looked forward to when going over into East Berlin, and when doing so, was something we never missed.
I was doubly fortunate in that my first four years stationed in West Berlin (78-82) happened to coincide with the transition of the guard unit from NVA-Wachregiment to Wachregiment Friedrich Engels.
Matteo,
Thanks for initiating this thread. I always find threads about the Wachregiments interesting and always learn something new each time a new thread is brought up. Memories about certain things fade, and it certainly helps to rejuvinate the old gray matter when these type threads are brought to the forefront.
Interesting thread with respect to the initial picture. Still not sure what to make of it, but I cannot discount your hypothesis, as clearly the Tunic in question is there and cannot be otherwise explained.
Cheers
