Flugplatz Magderburg (EDBM) in Germany on September 9, 2012. Interflug Tupolev Tu-134 DDR-SCB (cn 8350503). This aircraft is preserved near the terminal at the small Magdeburg City Airport.
Heres few of my DDR Steffis.
They are my big favourite, like DDR version of Bild Lilli!
Hair of this doll is very full and usually rather short, BC-type - soft, good quality fibre and I have heard similar than Schildkröt-dolls.
Body is Barbie-size as the feet, but arms are like little girl´s, like EG Babette´s (short and rounded that is).
Shes got very strong chin.
Shes got character!
I have found the relict on a manhole cover. DDR = "Deutsche Demokratische Republik" = "German Democratic Republic" = East Germany. Funny to see it for me.
The colour of this device reminds me of Sartorius's 1970s laboratory balances, made in Göttingen ( they have since changed colour from yellow to white). Some information on this machine at:

A planned childhood
The Kindergarten was not only a good source of childcare, it was the first state institution of education that a child would visit. Seizing this early opportunity to convince the next generation of the joys of Socialism, the state ensured that more than 90 per cent of children were granted a place. The day was subject to rigid planning. Children were encouraged to do everything in the collective: playtime, meals and even the afternoon nap left no room for individual initiative. By Party logic, a good Socialist life in the community was more important than the development of individual abilities.

In the DDR Museum the exhibition depicts life in the former East Germany in a direct "hands-on" way. For example, a covert listening device ("bug") gives visitors the sense of being "under surveillance". One can also try DDR clothes on in the recreated tower block apartment, change TV channels or use an original typewriter. The exhibition has three themed areas: “Public Life”; “State and Ideology” and “Life in a Tower Block”. Each of them is presented under a critical light: the positives as well as the negatives sides of the DDR are explored in this exhibition. A total of 35 modules illustrate these three themes: Media, literature, music, culture, family, private niche, health, equality, diet, childhood, youth, partnership, fashion, border, Berlin, education, work, consumption, construction, living, free time, vacation, environment, party, Ministry for State Security, economy, state, ideology, army, brother states, wall, opposition, penal system and authority.

Der neue einteilige ZV-Schutzanzug SBA/LS. Hier in der sog. Gefechtslage (kompletter Vollschutz).
Da die Anzüge nicht leicht mitzuführen waren und nicht jede ZV-Einheit über Kraftfahrzeuge verfügte, zogen die Einsatzkräfte der ZV oft schon in ihrer Unterkunft den Schutzanzug an. In der "Marschlage" (ohne aufgesetze Gasmaske und Schutzhandschuhe) ging es dann an den Übungs- bzw. Einsatzort. Dort angekommen, wurde gerödelt und trainiert, meist über Stunden hinweg.
Es konnte vorkommen, daß die Kameradinnen und Kameraden bis zu 10 Stunden am Stück im Schutzanzug steckten: Zuerst 3 Stunden in Marschlage für den Hinweg und die ersten Übungseinlagen, dann bis zu 6 Stunden in der "Gefechtslage" (also in komplettem Vollschutz, bisweilen mit Pausen ohne Maske) und zum Abschluß nochmal 1 Stunde in Marschlage für den Rückweg. Auch in der wärmeren Jahreszeit! Diese Leistungen der freiwilligen Helferinnen und Helfer nötigen schon Respekt ab.
