Quote in the Museum in der Kulturbrauerei: Life was much more colorful than the cliché of the grey DDR uniforms.
The East German army and border guards wore mostly light grey uniforms.
It is also worth bearing in mind that the DDR ended in 1989/90 – consumer items should thus not be compared with what is available today.
