Felix Dzerzhinsky Guards Regiment - Uniforms

Uniforms

Its uniforms were nearly identical to those of the those of National People's Army (NVA) and were distinguished primarily by the dark red MfS service color of its insignia and by an honorary cuffband on the left sleeve bearing the regiment's name. Other Stasi officers wore a similar uniform, but without the cuffband. Members were selected from among the most reliable volunteer recruits and had to perform a three-year minimum service tour.
