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?

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.
