    It's sad. Now the ruling class in germany is the burgeosie and not the workers.

      The ruling class in East Germany was never the workers, but rather the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

    This gave me chills for some reason I am from Cuba and a few years ago we used to sing the Soviet International which is the song that is playing in the background of the video but in Spanish instead of German

    • @jean6872

      The Internationale was composed by a Belgian/French socialist, Pierre Chrétien De Geyter, in 1888 to commemorate the working class people of Lille in France. It was adopted by the Second International Congress of Socialists in Paris 1889. Yes, it was, for a while, used by the Soviets as their national anthem.

    Gotta love those caps, great look. Funnily enough the caps go really well with a 90s flecktarn parka, matches the hood. Makes you wonder if the fabrics and such were used by a united bundeswehr

      Yes the Caps are really nice and they're really good in the winter I own a set of East German camouflage uniform the same one that's in the video at Blends in quite well to where I live and I also own eight East German border troops NCO dress uniform I will say the dress uniforms are very uncomfortable they're made out of wool only really bad thing about it is if you have to raise your arms up it's really hard if you have the belt on and also the shoulder boards are stiffened with cardboard so yeah that's even worse
