The German memorial scarf and doily of the NVH are genuine East German Army surplus! It is believed that they were souvenirs for NVA soldiers to commemorate their service. Based on translations, the scarf includes phrases like "Honorably served until the last day" and "For the protection of the workers and farmers power" within the inner DDR circle. These items are old new stock and come with the original packaging. The packaging features an image of an NVA soldier leaping over a wall towards his family. The scarf itself displays various military images, from tanks to CRBN crews, with the DDR coat of arms prominently in the center. The doily that is also included has decorative embroidery around the edges, featuring the coat of arms and "Nationale Volksarmee" in the middle.
