Hello Jonas, thanks for the reply, regards. I admit that my knowledge of BRD waffenfarbe is not that good and didffered from Wermacht versions, what did they do, any ideas?

Alex,

The NBC troops in the BW were responsible for decontamination of equipment personnel etc. Here is a link to WIKI that explains what they do. I tried to post a translated very to the forum but it kept saying that I had posted too many photos.

The green DDR hat is for the Volkspolizei and the grey pipped one is for DDR Prison Guards.
