<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wehwalt, post: 2214440, member: 33595&quot;]Here are four East German medals (sorry about the rotation on the reverses).&nbsp; Two of them are rather grim Army anniversary medals, a third a 1964 medal probably worn from the lapel for a youth gathering in East Berlin.&nbsp; I bought that one because of the bear holding the Brandenburg Gate in its paws, although the symbol of Berlin is certainly a bear, I wonder if the Russian bear is subversively meant?&nbsp; That&#039;s an aggressive looking bruin, is all I can say.&nbsp; The fourth is a medal for an anniversary of Schwerin, the state capital for Rostock, a very handsome city I visited by train (and found only one medal, at the tourist office, that I may post later but most likely not because it isn&#039;t that great).&nbsp; All are very clearly from the DDR era.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there&#039;s much nostalgia for East Germany.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]433051[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433052[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
