Re: NVA uniforms
Honostly say, for me the most Soviet-influenced part of NVA uniforms was General uniform, escpecially it's cap.
Btw., does anyone know, who is this guy in the middle? His Kragenspiegel looks very similiar to SS-Standartenfuehrer. Volkspolizei?

Re: NVA uniforms
How did East German population and especially soldiers in 1960s reacted, when they´ve seen NVA uniforms in war movies, where they were used as Wehrmacht ones? Do you think it was the reason to change their style by putting an open collar?
Re: NVA uniforms
I think nobody was confused or so , it was like it was. My Grandma has called also the NVA Wehrmacht untill she died in 2000.
And it was not an political statement.
A lot of older people told me that the reaction changing to "Wehrmachtstyle" uniforms was widely positiv among the population. ( May be the uniform used before was to russian inspired).
The open collar was only to go contemporary. A question of fashion.
The service uniform (enlisted men) was closed collar until the end.
Changing the collar to avoid a wehrmachtstyle makes no sense , because there are too many other things.
(boots, riding boots, breeches, belt, shoulder boards, parade belt, dagger , sabre, aiguilette , etc)
I have seen pictures of the last planned uniform changings for the 90s. Thanks Gods, that the NVA passed away before
this shame would become true.
