Do you know what decorations did Reinhold Tappert won while in the Waffen-SS during WWII? After WWII,Tappert was in the East German Army (NVA) as a Oberst. What East German decorations did he got? There must be a few more Waffen-SS veterans that were in the East German Military after WWII. I don't know why they joined the East German Military. I think there were a few old topics about Reinhold Tappert. What was an advantage to be a member of the SED of East Germany which I think Tappert was a member of?

There were many old specialists in the DDR.

Less clear is the relationship between the postwar SS and the Soviets especially in East Germany. Yes even though communism and the Soviets wer their least-favored political entities and opposition to them helped define their existence,it appears that there was some sort of contact and some sort of relationship. The post-SS organizations have contact with the Soviets.
