T 34 crew circa 1960. Kind of funny that when you think about it that their fathers or older brothers could have driven Tigers or Panthers of the Wehrmacht that were far superior and well capable of letting their rounds go through that tank like a hot knife through butter.

These are members of the SAklK-5 (Spezialaufklärungskompanie 5 - "Special Reconaissance Company 5") at the FJABas-40 (Fallschirmjägerausbildungsbasis 40 - "Airborne Training Base 40") at Burg near Magdeburg. The photo shows the group that made the last freefall jump in the NVA history.

No. The NVA was integrated into the West German armed forces aka Bundeswehr. I.e. most of the gear was sorted out or sold to other countries, and a number of personnel were integrated into Bundeswehr.
