a little sweetness in a man's world

[Eschborn]

Hello everyone,

a small page on the Strichtarn combat uniform for women in the NVA. It should be noted that women were integrated into the armed forces of the DDR long before the Western countries. During reunification, no female soldier was taken up in the Bundeswehr because at the time, they were not yet part of the army.




Here is a female uniform dated 1/T with its gas mask

Great stuff there! this is all I can muster up for the DDR female.

Cor! You could drink your tea out of those, René..
And I thought my collection was eclectic. Is there nothing you haven’t got an example of, mate?

Thank you, Eschborn. I see a very nice thread developing here.

Rene's "stepping out" gear ......

Renes lady reminds me of a certain Rosa Klebb though.

Best be careful when drinking your tea then..

good evening,
we can notice that there are two types of jackets: 3 and 4 buttons (without pocket).
It would be interesting to know the production dates.
I don't know yet if these are 2 different models, produced on the same date or a model that has evolved over time.

Ahh haven't played with these for years and are somewhere deep in my junk pile! but here is a pic of the 4 button NCO liner and as far as I can remember is it isn't marked, but probably 80's due to the blue buttons. I can't locate a picture of the officers one, but by memory it's late 80's.

Here's one surviving pic of the officer one, when I come across these again I'll have to remind myself to take new pics!
