Für treue Dienste am Sozialismus - DDR (For loyal service to Socialism - GDR)

My daily belt.

I'm suspicious of the authenticity of the Order of the Red Star on the right. Not as detailed and it just has a different 'feel' to it

1. 10 kopecks (1969) 2 1 ruble (1987) and 5 ruble coins (1990 & 1991)
2. Two Orders of the Red Star
3. Excellent Soviet Army Soldier badge and Order of the Badge of Honour
4. Young Pioneer & Shock Worker of Communist Labour pins, Komsomol badge

And it fits!! (Edit: it’s not my room)

Basically the Equipment of a btr crewmember, still needs some minor Changes, Tanker hat has to be Changed into the Summer Version and I need actual NVA Boots

I have a Lot more Military Stuff, If you yall are interested

Can someone also translate the text on the back? Im lazy

I got it for really cheap in a second hand shop, i recently saw that the exact one was up on americanapipedream for like $300 which surprised me.

It’s too big for my wall so i had to make some non-permanent adjustments to it.

Plus a few more east german banners and soviet youth, sports and achievement banners. All of this for pretty good prices too.

Hello everyone. I have recently bought this Soviet Order Of Glory 3rd class. It’s numbered 268984. Is any of you able to find some information about the recipient? Thanks in advance for the help.

Pic 1 - a 3 peso banknote, featuring Che Guevara’s portrait, a Cuban special forces patch, and a DVD case for the movie “I am Cuba/Soy Cuba” a 1964 Soviet-Cuban coproduction anthology film about the Cuban Revolution. This movie garnered almost exclusively negative reception in both Cuba and the USSR when it released, and it was lost to time for about 30 years. In the mid 90s it was rediscovered by filmmaker Martin Scorsese, who immediately fell in love with it and set out to restore it and rerelease it in DVD form. Personally i think it is a fantastic movie and i highly recommend it if you are interested in Cuba or the cold war in general.

Pic 2 - Cuban Tropas Especiales uniform, in “amoeba” camouflage pattern. This uniform was adopted sometime in the 90s i believe and is still worn by Cuban special forces today.

Pic 3 - reproduction OSPAAAL poster of Che Guevara superimposed over the silhouette of South America

Pic 4 - real OSPAAAL poster depicting Vladimir Putin as a vampire? On the reverse side it has a short biography of Putin, and a note about how Cuba and China abstained from condemning his invasion of Ukraine. This poster came for free alongside the Guevara one, and honestly i’m not sure what message it’s trying to convey. It looks cool though.

What are their names and are they original?
