Claudius,

I don't know of any other nation than the DDR that had two different coloured berets. Dark maroon was sort of the standard set for para headgear by the Brits during the war and western nations still prefer that colour and wear it in the field as well as on parade.

Regards,

Gordon

The ( CSSR) CSLA's Paratroopers had a reversable Beret, Raindrop Vzor 65 Field and a Maroon Service Dress side, when the Vzor 85 Uniform was adopted the Field side is a Plain Green, inline with the "new" Combat dress colour.

I don't know what is the Norm now with their Green Woodland Pattern.
