    Default The East German Army - The New Wehrmacht?


    The Nationale Volksarmee or East German Army looked very similar to the old Wehrmacht. In this film I explore why this happened and what kind of identity East Germany tried to create for its People's Army and how much it actually took from older German armies. The end result was a fascinating miss-mash of German military traditions and uniforms and a surprisingly efficient army.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Only the uniform.

    A real Wehrmacht soldier like my grandfather killed communists, not joined them.

    Precisely ! I consider the 1950s/1980s Bundeswehr to be more of a "German Army" than anything those clowns in the East came up with.

    Clowns are funny. The state of the modern Bundeswehr should make one weep, not laugh.
