Could you post a close-up of the insignia. THe photo's look old enough to be pre 45. -
I think that they may be post 1945 DDR KVP (Kasernierte Volkspolizei), but I am not an expert on those...I will post a link to this thread on the DDR forum ... I am sure that somewhere there will certainly be able to confirm if KVP or not...
Cheers, Torsten.

They used the Collar Patches with the Stars in the Police Force from 1949 to 1952 and in the Fire Department from 1950 to 1952.
I think that helps.

I concur with Nico,
Post 1949 - 1952 East German Polizei. If there were a shoulder patch on the left sleeves with GP in it, then they would be Grenzpolizei. Since there is no such visible patch, then I believe they are Regular Polizei.
One of the oldest Tunics in my DDR memorabilia collection is of this type of Tunic. Perhaps this will help:Last edited by Michael D. Gallagher; 06-20-2005, 09:25 AM.Michael D. GALLAGHER
