To help you improve your Stasi impression, i will list some tips about what you should do: 1. The Chevron is for years of service within the ranks, ranged from 5 to 30. 2. The Dzierzynski cuff title would look cooler if you had the full parade uniform with a shooters cord, helmet, gear and medals. (that includes breeches) 3. If you ever go for an officer impression then a standard Warsaw Pact brown officers belt would apply because the black belt was only used by EN-NCO 4. Getting a holster would improve the look.
for parade uniform he would need different tunic the parade tunic is slightly different it has two vertical white rectangles on the sleeve cuff he would also need a white belt and if you wanted to do an officer's impression he would also need another tunic he has a enlisted man to tunic a NCO tunic has a thick silver piping around the collar a officer's tunic has thinner piping around the collar also if he wanted to do parade he would have to put on medals or ribbons and probably the only thing that prevents myself from doing a parade impression having to put on your graduation badge from military academy the batch that goes above the right breast pocket it is screw back so it leaves a big hole in your tunic and as we all know East German uniforms right now are a pain to get by the way what happened to him he doesn't upload anymore do you know?
For sure, the "hakenkreuz" (hooked cross)was made into a symbol of oppression, but I am sure many countries that were under the Soviet jackboot, will associate any form of communist symbolism as bad, too and not any different from the aforementioned 'hakenkreuz'.
Same 😂 It is really important to recognise that it isn‘t just following the „Nazi“ uniform, it‘s just following traditional German military style! The DDR wanted to be recognised as the real germany, which is why they adopted this.
This just in: Chevrons were used for a soldiers fulfilling term service known in the NVA as 'Soldat und Unteroffizier auf Zeit' were enlisted and non-commissioned officers that served a commitment for three years but could be authorized to serve up to ten years in the armed forces. So in short, Only Soldiers and NCOs temporarily in the military while being in their fulfillment term would have worn that.
Term enlisted personnel were authorized to attend courses to become non-commissioned officers which was an option not extended to conscript personnel. Term enlisted could obtain the rank of Sergeant and Term Officers could obtain the rank of Captain.
Hi friend) It's nice to know that you like the theme of the DDR) The chic story of the Cold War and the ally that the USSR needed) I have the tunic soldat infantry in 83 year and the parade Grenztruppen officer for 72 years. If you are interested, we can talk about it, because you're a good guy, I see)
This is a uniform used by Felix Dzerzhinsky guards regiment (wachregiment), but not by stasi itself. Stasi agents didn't have some standard set of uniform.

@Lucas Kessler Lol really? The nazis were not socialist? You don’t seem like you know any history at all.The Nazi economy policies were far left. They were anti capitalists , pretty similar to the communists. The differences between USSR and Nazi Germany in 1940 were minimal.The Soviets also killed more than 40 million people. You need to check your facts again and maybe open some books.
@@Jim-fi4dc No, they weren't Socialist at all, far from it. "National Socialism" was an oxymoron, just like North Korea's official name, the "Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea", which isn't Democratic at all. Hitler believed the Marxists hijacked the term "Socialism" and it meant a completely different thing to the Nazi Party. It was also used to appeal to the working class of Germany. Fascist Germany was economically right wing, and socially far-right, there wasn't really any leftist economic policy in the country. They deeply opposed Socialism and Communism, as well as Capitalism. Hitler blamed the Communists for the fire in the Reichstag prior to the Second World War. You seem very historically illiterate to draw such a mindless conclusion that "The differences between USSR and Nazi Germany in 1940 were minimal." 40 million people is an extremely inflated and bloated number and there has never been a single source to back up such a number. However, it is established that real numbers of people killed by the CPSU is in the millions.
The First Button from the Top of the Tunic has Always to be Open, and Under that Jacket you would wear a Service Shirt with also shoulderboards and you would wear a Tie, And i Think the Whole Gear is Not Real Stasi (Staatssicherheit) because they got there own supplies that we're stamped with "MDI" which Means "Ministerium Des Innern" and im English that would be Ministry of the Interior. So if You Want to Get the Real Stasi Gear you can what to Look for
Stasi wachregiment wore officer grade uniforms, so high quality, their belts wouldve been the brown officer's belt so you need one of those, and you need enlisted rank shoulder boards too.
has noncommissioned officer shoulder boards even though his tunic is enlisted if he is noncommissioned Officer he is supposed to have piping around the collar in white and what he says about the cap is wrong that cap was worn by enlisted men and non-commissioned officers not by officers officers cap have braided chinstrap in white and the cockade on the hat does not matter officers and enlisted men have the same cockade it does not change only changes for General the belt is accurate the nylon belt that you described was only worn for field uniform in 1980s the black belt was replaced with a brown belt but it is fine if he's doing 1970s
@@Svea_LifeGuards Actually the nylon belt was introduced for service uniforms during the 1960s, and additionally the piping is called a treße or tresse
I think my NVA visor cap is actually enlisted man's hat because it's made of a flat wool, similar to the tunic, and it isn't really stretched, it sags a little, and doesn't have an upturn in the back, as well as the fact that it's supposed to be an original. I'm unsure about the legitimacy of the hat.
It's likely fine. Usage were made differently depending on the area and the factory. The physical condition of the bag is probably do to it being crushed or mistreated in storage.
Hello everyone. I know that this probably isn't the right place to look, but I'll try. I need help with putting together a grenztruppen unteroffizer uniform. I've looked around a lot of places, but nowhere is really clear on what to purchase in order to make my uniform as historically accurate as possible. I currently have an NCO's hat, a coat with the correct insignia and 10 years of service medal, and the pants with olive green highlights. Everywhere I've looked has been unclear on what awards to get, what belt and boots to get, and which insignia to get. If any of you could reply with what belt, boots, medals, shirt, tie and anything else to get, that would help me out immensely. I am a new uniform collector and have no idea what to get. The uniform size is M48 and 1856 N. The inside stamps of the jacket say M 48 1856 A/1, and the pants say 1856 M 48-0 1/D. Thank you very much.

Stasi wachregiment wore officer grade uniforms, so the belt is an officers belt even if the tunic is EM
I swear the east german dress uniforms remind me so much of the german ww2 uniform just without the bad bad symbol
