7th of October - DDR Republic Day (Tag der Republik)

The day commemorates October 7, 1949, when the German Democratic Republic (DDR) was constituted on the territory of the Soviet Occupation Zone.Since the seventies,DDR Nationale Volksarmee toy soldiers were made of plastic for the DDR toy shops at the PGH Effelder (VEB Spielzeugland Mengersgereuth). The figures were made in various camouflage paintings in the early years, they were later painted, until the end of the GDR, in a uniform olive-green uniform with only a few details.
