corporal in the German Border Police - 1953






The contemporary photo of a member of the German border police is dated February 1953. Interestingly, the soldier with a coupling with a lock which has the star with police shield of arms. Belt buckles of this type, sometimes called "Russian album" were called in to direct the early years of the GDR Border police headquarters to the blue uniform used. To those introduced in 1952 khaki uniforms usually a gold-colored castle is no icon.

The photo is a fine example that old uniform parts for some time been the holder.
