Latest award in my collection, a Soviet Medal "For the Strengthening of Combat Cooperation" w/ booklet, presented to an East German Oberstleutnant.

That's DOUBLY /int/ernational.

Do you have any collections IYC? Miniatures, games, militaria, cards, hobbies?

Why?
I'm a communist
Don't you know many millions of Ukrainians gave their life in the Sacred War against the Fascist nazi hordes to defend their homeland?

Tonnes of course.
Hero of the GDR is practically impossible. Real gold and diamonds. Only 10 people got it and all of them were uber famous (top-tier Politburo, some Cosmonauts) so price is even higher than the cost of the material. Some got it 2 or 3 times (Brezhnev) though. One of Erich Mielke's, the Stasi chief, was sold but that was tens of thousands of Euro.
Karl Marx Order similarly expensive. A few hundred more got it, but the early models are made of 900/~22 karat gold so price is still tens of thousands. Late models were reduced to 333 gold but still 4-6k+ Euro.
Early model Order of the Fatherland, like I pictured, were also made of full 900 Gold and also sell for $15k+. Early Silver/Bronze more obtainable but haven't got around to it yet.
Scharnhorst Order is the highest military award but again very rare, mostly just generals, and sells for several k Euro. Probably the most within reach top-tier award and I'll get it one day though.

Hero of Labour will probably be my next big purchase, those are still 500-1000 Euro.
Then there's stuff like "Honoured..." (eg Honoured People's Police, Honoured Border Guard, Honoured Stasi..) and those are also 500-1000+ Euro. They were limited to usually 10-15 per year total and only established in the 60s-70s so again just rare.

nazism and communism are just two different flavors of totalitarianism. And we had the misfortune of experiencing both.

You could make money selling them, by the way.

Most Soviet stuff on eBay.com (the US one) are sold from Ukraine.

Just don't fake the stuff like a lot of them do.

what's the best east german clothing that I can use everyday?
something like summer jacket maybe

Volksarmee raincoats without rank shoulderboards are cheap. Still LARPy but most wouldn't recognise it as military. Volkspolizei raincoats are a slightly different design but could work too.

You can also find Kampfgruppen jackets without the red flag patches also. Just know they're not super high-quality but they are cheap. They also have winter variants with insulation padding which are alright, little rarer.

If you're not bothered looking a little more LARPy, then yes, you can get something like a strichtarn winter or summer jacket and strip the shoulderboards like this.
