Show Notes
We speak with Torsten Belger who trained as an Artillery Officer in the East German Army.
Torsten also runs Germandotmilitaria which is a web site selling various items of East German militaria and civilian items too. It's well worth a visit
He tells us in fascinating detail about his early life, his schooling, and how he ended up on the NVA officer training course.
You can listen to other episodes with Torsten here https://coldwarconversations.com/episode45/ and here https://coldwarconversations.com/episode53/
Spoiler alert, this episode does end on a cliffhanger... we welcome Torsten Belger.
If you are interested in East Germany we can highly recommend our friends over at Radio GDR.
