SARGE Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Gents, Here is an interesting set of East German School Crossing Guard outfits. I recall that my police career seemingly started off with a white plastic cross belt and a tin badge along with a hand held stop sign at my elementary school. So, potential East German Policemen likely wore these outfits as well. This is a boxed set of a boy and a girl Traffic Police uniforms consisting of white caps, vests, etc. for the fledgling Traffic Policeman standing in the cross walks. I have never seen another set but surely they were in every elementary school in the DDR. School Crossing Guards taught every kiddie community responsibility and order.

Proud Kraut Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 (edited) I did a quick online research and found out that this set was used for traffic education and as a toy. Very nice set in excellent condition! Edited September 22 by Proud Kraut Link to post Share on other sites
gwb123 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 I think it is funny... from the drawing, the boy gets the whistle while the girl does not! So much for gender equality in the Worker's Paradise!
