Thank you for uploading this! My friend has an NVA parade uniform, so I got him a service medal as a Christmas gift. We had trouble finding sources talking about how it should be worn, and this was a big help. Thanks again!

Great to hear, Thank you! :)

A very interesting video, I have a video with orders and medals of the USSR.

[@harms5846]

Very nice medals, indeed! I must ask, though, do you have a link to purchasing this refrence book? It looks most helpful!

[@MilitaryMonetary]

It is unfortunately long out of print, last time they printed it East Germany still existed. But it shows up quite often on eBay, you should be able to find one there! :)

Hello. A very good video, just useful for me for the jacket of an officer of the border troops of the GDR in 1972) which he sewed in the atelier by order for the necessary fittings, and this will come in handy for maybe a ceremonial version or a weekend, into what you can turn your jacket into, until I decided. I have a major, not a senior lieutenant like this.

Thank you! :)

I placed my academy badge with the lowest point one centimeter above the pocket. I have the Soviet rhomb type badge. My uniform only has that badge on the wearer's right side.

Thank you for this video but I am confused on what to do for the metals because I have a whole bunch of ribbons and medals I’m going to put on the uniform, but I don’t know what to do and how as well as what exactly do I use for the ribbons?

[@flori1b234]

Leistungsabzeichen der Grenztruppen, Absolventenabzeichen einer zivilen Hochschule, Medaille für treue Dienste (5, 10, 15 und 20 Jahre Dienstzeit), Interimsspange von links: Medaille für treue Dienste 5 und 10 Jahre, Medaille für vorbildlichen Grenzdienst, Verdienstmedaille der Grenztruppen in Bronze. Grüne Paspelierung der Kragenspiegel und Schulterstücke ebenfalls Grenztruppen der DDR.

How do i put the screw back ones in do I need a tool or just put some pressure and it will go on how can you tell me

[@nuggetman6065]

For officers Academy badge, what are the measurements of how far it should be above the pocket??

[@Firmfoundchristian2325]

And what are the ribbon bars and how can I place multiple ribbons on?

[@Andyjjuk1]

On your video after you placed the academy badge you were about to place the Leistungsabzeichen badge. Where exactly should it go? To the left of the academy badge on the same alignment or is there a seniority ?

[@lotharwerner9524]

the Leistungsabzeichen is on the left side from Absolventabzeichen. But most officers with Absolventenabzeichen do not wear the Leistungsabzeichen.

If wearing 7 medals am I correct in thinking that they would be worn as a row of 3 above a row of 4?

[@MilitaryMonetary]

Correct!

[@guythatsalive3743]

are qualification badges also worn on service dress uniforms or only on parade uniforms

[@MilitaryMonetary]

If you mean qualification clasps they are worn on both!

[@guythatsalive3743]

@@MilitaryMonetary and if im wearing the uniform it should Be on my right

[@reynardmisae6208]

I have a simple question, I’m currently trying to set up my Oberstleutnant Uniform, the qualification badge is screwed onto the uniform, do we need to tear a hole into the tunic? Or how do you attach it?

[@user-xb2hv9jr4l]

For mine I just poked a hole through it with a thick-ish needle and a pencil and it worked very well

[@guythatsalive3743]

Sadly yes

[@ron8695]

Is it the same place with black collar uniform?

[@lotharwerner9524]
