Chinese DDR group came again

[Frank Soon]

Yes, we did it again.
2009 China militaria collector's show
Dec. 12 2009, Beijing
Nearly 150 folks were there, here I'm posting mainly the DDR part.

Fortunately I made it there this time (the generalmajor).
Enjoy the pics, and thanks for looking.

There are still activities of the NVA out there....

Genossen! Looks like you had great fun! Congratulations
I notice that this year the violations to dress regulations are fewer than last year and of really minor order... but I am sure that Genosse Viktor will lose no time in explaining them. It seems very well done to me! I particularly like the abundance of officer parade uniforms that seems to rival (if not surpass ) what I get up to with my friends...

Genosse Frank Soon,
I echo Genosse iannima Formula, you and your Genossen look very good, apart from possible lack of Stars on Shoulder Boards and maybe level of Awards ( which will be answered for ), you have made a fist of it..

Nice Work.

Thanks for creating this thread and showing us your DDR activities in China...the DDR militaria collecting is growing in China...

It was also interesting to see the pictures of others wearing different uniforms from other countries from around the world...

Looks like a great time was had by all! Thanks for posting the pics

Frank Soon,

[Ian Richardson]

Wow! Its great to see Komerades in arms across the globe and not just in Europe! Is this a kind of 'meet and greet' dinner and then you all just have discussion? A casual meeting of enthuisiests? Because I would like there to be something of this calibur in the Mid-Western US.

We did marching, eating, talking, photo taking.....lol.
Every December in Beijing, we have this largest collector's show in China.
I'd like to invite all of you people from this DDR forum to come and have fun with us, if you're interested, let us know in advance for arrangements.
If you people happen to have a chance to come to China, but not in Dec, we'd also like to meet with you and exchange some experience in collecting or maybe even trade some items, after all, there are too few of our kinds (DDR collectors). We have members in some major cities: Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang, Shanghai, Guangzhou...let us know. :-)

Genosse Frank Soon,
It is good to see your Workers Paradise is so wide spread in your People's Republic....

[grenzflieger]

Compared to you guys collecting over here in Europe seems dusty and boring! Keep up the good work!

PS: you're link for more pics doesn't work at my computer... and my chinese isn't anymore what it used to be

[adlerfan53]
