Is this a Trabant 601 Kübel? |
◊ 2011-07-24 00:11 |
Yes, the military version. The civil "Tramp" was made only for the export, never officially available for DDR-citizens. |
◊ 2011-07-24 00:13 |
Its official name was 601 A. Made since 1975, maybe newer by soem details. |

In front of it, is another "Trabbi" or "Rennpappe" (literally translated as "racing cardbord). ![]() |

Sound so funny, yet so wrong. ![]() |

Wrong, to be precise: absolute rubbish was everything, coming from the DDR ![]() Except the strawberry yoghurt and the gherkins. They were better than in the West. And "wrong" is true, too. DDR-citizens were only allowed to travel to the other COMECON-countries, only exceptionally and only a few people to Western countries (incl.West Germany). Ad when they had been in Hungaria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc., they were always treatened as second-class tourists/Germans, because of their worthless money. Western tourists, not only West Germans, were well much more welcomed. |

DDR toys was good. I surpose best in "COMECON". Railroads and other stuff... |

My parents usually spend holidays in place where was also a lot of East German tourists and never noticed they were treated worse than guests from other COMECON countries. AFAIK, Stasi etc. are one story and second is, that live level (average earnings) in East Germany for long time was in fact even high, like for the Eastern Block realities. And I have to admit, this time also from own experience, DDR toys had good opinion. Some other products too, except chocolate, which was terrible. -- Last edit: 2011-07-24 21:56:59 |

.. and a particular match during the 1974 World Cup. You must remember that tournament, surely? It was the year the Dutch played fantastic football and gallantly lost the final to a team nobody remembers now. Your long-standing awe and admiration of their strawberry yoghurt suggests it was a truly stunning achievement, way ahead of capitalist efforts. |

@Weasel: sorry, there's a misunderstanding. I meant, that the were treated worse than West German and other Western tourists. This was a true fact. As a Western citizen you was better treatened even in their own country. If there was a different status/reputation between COMECON-tourists, I cannot say. @3loader: yes, DDR-toys weren't that bad, but not as good as Western brands. Btw.: PIKO has always looked, to have the same specification (gauge, coupling, pantograph) as MÄRKLIN. If you could buy DDR-products in Western Germany, it was always low-bargain stuff, alwys cheaper than identical Western products. And the goods, exported to the West, weren't available in the DDR, resp. not in the export-quality. @dsl: Yes, the 1:0 of the DDR was/still is one of the most important days for the DDR-history, no kidding. It was the -at least only- opportunity ever, where they had been beaten the West Germans. Over here it's nearly forgotten, but in the Eastern awareness it's indeed still alive. For myself, born in 1970 I haven't really noticed the 1974 Cup. I think, I had http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/60/wc1974ms2tb.jpg/ as toys, but I'm not sure any more. Though I've been football-interested, I use the 1974-event only for one reason - for teasing my Dutch K 70-fellows ![]() Link to "www.google.de" An original repro of Link to "www.captain-trikot.de" for sale ![]() |

Looks good, interesting. I tying to remember some military versions of the Mehari here and are similar. |

Maybe someone has the interest to contribute this DDR-made wannabe-James Bond-like series: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_unsichtbare_Visier ![]() Never heard about it before, just found the article Link to "einestages.spiegel.de" It could be promising for several reasons. At first, because it was entirely filmed in the DDR, but some scenes were set abroad, so in West Germany, Portugal, Italy and even Argentina. Maybe the "Western cars in the DDR"-specialist in my plate-forum knows more about potential automolistic items. For dsl the pure 70ies soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o10VTPc9Fiw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys60OeCnHfQ&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGjycG1o33g&feature=related Btw.: it was the first TV/movie-soundtrack, which was relased on disc in the DDR. And for Gomselmash something really freaky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWyqDMm7gBA The girl (I cannot find her real name, she may be from Poland or Russia) was really painted - for looking "Argentinian". No kidding! Seriously! ![]() |
