1984 Training as a tank commander in the NCO School of the NVA "Kurt Bennewitz" in Delitzsch

after brief (6 weeks) Shore leave the section began with the NVA. Being away from home was my daily life, but behind high walls and barbed wire, that was a little new. In addition to the hard athletic training education stood at the tanks T55 in the foreground. Drive, Shooting and hit the target were the wishful thinking of superiors. But that in the next section still in command of at least 3 other crew members waiting for us, no one has emphasized. Photos Wikipedia, AlfvanBeem, Tobias Treudler, Irak: Tech. Sgt.
