Every bolt is sacred,
Every bolt is great.
If a bolt is wasted,
Sprinks gets quite irate.

NVA M56/61 Paradeuniform for Fallschirmjäger, 1964-69
[ img ]

The NVA's first paratroop unit was formed in 1960 as Mot.-Schützenbataillon 5, garrisoned in Prora on the Baltic coast. Though designated as a motorized infantry unit, they were always intended to function as airborne and trained from the outset to attack rear line positions and cut off supply routes for the enemy's front. The battalion began jump operations in September 1961, jumping from Ilyushin Il-14 (a twin engine transport aircraft). In 1962, MSB-5 was redesignated Fallschirmjägerbataillon 5 and participated in the "Quartett" exercise alongside Soviet, Polish, and Czechoslovakian troops in September 1963. At this same time, the Ministry of National Defense began to discuss the matter of uniform distinctions in accordance with their status as a new branch. While the majority of the uniform changes were to the field uniform, changes were also made to the parade and service uniforms. Order DV-98/4 of 2 November 1964 (enforced starting 1 May 1965) prescribed a new orange branch color and stone gray beret for FJB-5 (and other paratroop units, should they be formed), as well as the wear of jump boots with the parade uniform. Since this order came after the change to white piped uniforms (regardless of branch of service color) and the new national emblem cockade, the men of FJB-5 never wore wholly-orange piped uniforms or tricolor cockades. Starting in 1969, the battalion was presented with the honorary name "Willi Sänger" and the beret color was changed to orange. In 1974, they switched to open collar uniforms alongside the rest of the NVA.

Grenztruppen der NVA M56/61 Dienstuniform, 1962-1971

On 12 September 1961 Walter Ulbricht, Chairman of the National Defense Council of the DDR, ordered the integration of the Grenzpolizei into the Nationale Volksarmee as the Grenztruppen der NVA. This took effect on 15 September of the same year. In keeping with this new status as a branch of the NVA, the Grenztruppen were outfitted with a stone gray uniform derived from that of the Landstreitkräfte. The dress code supplement governing the new uniform took effect on 1 May 1962. These uniforms would be worn through the separation of the Grenztruppen from the NVA in 1971 (and redesignation as the Grenztruppen der DDR), being replaced with the M74 open-collar uniform at the same time as the NVA in December 1973. The "Grenztruppen der DDR" cuff title was not authorized until 1 December 1976 on the 30th Anniversary of the creation of the Grenztruppen, and thus was never worn with the closed-collar uniform.
