Photo Comment

The GDR coat of arms consisted of a hammer and a pair of compasses in a wreath of rye which ironically from a distance resembles the golden arches of a certain capitalist hamburger chain. The JBG 77 wing was named after Prussian field marshall Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher (1742-1819), who has converted to jet equipment.
