Brand: NVA
An NVA (National Volksarmee) Senior was a high-ranking officer in the East German army's volunteer militia, which was established in 1960. These officers held positions of leadership and authority, responsible for the recruitment, training, and deployment of NVA units. They played a significant role in the organization's operations during the Cold War, particularly in border security, training drills, and propaganda efforts aimed at promoting socialist ideology. The rank of Senior in the NVA was equivalent to that of Major or Lieutenant Colonel in other nations' militaries.
