DDR V2 - German People's Police (1952-1961)

This pack depicts the Uniforms of the Volkspolizei from 1952-(circa)1961. This is the first in a series of packs that will depict the Uniforms of the Volkspolizei throughout the Years.

The Deutsche Volkspolizei (German People's Police), or DVP, was the central policing agency of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). It was founded effectively in 1945 by the Soviet Military Administration of Germany. It is the oldest "armed organ" of the DDR, having been founded before its creation in 1949. In the DVP's early years, it attempted to stray away from the use of any outwardly communist apparel, opting for the use of the Tri-Color Emblem on the caps and belts and the use of WW2-Style Shoulder-Boards for Officers. However, sometime between 1958 and 1961 the National Emblem of the DDR was added to the uniforms. The DVP would go on to have several uniform changes, primarily in the years 1949, 1952, 1961, 1967, 1983, and 1990.

This Pack Includes:

• A Service Uniform for all rank groups

• Full Uniform Variation that was available at the time including shakos, summer hats, and gloves
