A Ex East German Soldier, a private, of the  4. Mot.-Schützendivision (NVA) gets his new Issue of Bundeswehr Stuff in 1990. We seen most NVA officers and some non commissioned officers were not retained, but it seemed junior ranks were, is this correct?

Note that the soldier in the right is still wearing NVA uniform and rank insignia! Finally about 11.000 NVA soldiers continued their service in the Bundeswehr.

This is a great photo, patches. The blanket far right (most likely two blankets sewn together) was the first Bw sleeping bag.

25 years ago not many collectors took notice of old Bw uniforms. If you find such a complete set in mint condition you can make big bucks today.

Here are some of the very few Officers that were invited into the Bundeswehr, the majority of East German Officers of all ranks were dismissed.
