Hi, I have some questions about Kampfgruppen and VOPO regulations after seeing some photos.
1. What shirts were worn under the KdA field uniforms? I know that dress/parade is white shirt and maroon tie. Some photos show a number of differant colored and styles of shirt. Could the individual wear whatever they wanted?
2. Is there a regulation on awards and decorations worn on the dress/parade uniform? Right side for example I've seen marksman and bester badges worn above and below the pocket. Also, what are the rules for wearing Soviet badges? There are photos of Kämpfers wearing badges all over their jackets in no particular order.
3. How does a Kämpfer earn rank? By merit, years on the job, or years in the KdA or SED?
4. What are the blue FDJ ribbons for and why would a polizist where them on the right side over pocket of green jacket?
More questions later. Thanks!
