Hi Dietrich,
No mention that they were being displayed in NVA barracks, just that since the fall of the wall a lot of these Marshals shoulder Boards were faked. Where the Ruby was supposed to be there was paint and varnish.
The minister of National Defence, Admiral Theodor Hoffmann scrapped the ranks of Admiral and Marshal of the DDR in November 1989. When the new Dress rules came out on 20th March, 1990 they were no longer included.
