I think about D9 a lot because due to the way German reunification worked the vopos got absorbed into the new state in a fairly orderly way, so for a good few years in the 90s all the police tactical guys in the east wore strichtarn and carried AKs and Makarovs
I actually own another relic of that period - the BePo, the riot police, kept their old patches but with the DDR arms (left) replaced with a roundel so everyone got the message who was in charge
anyway the vibe was ‘army uniform with POLIZEI stencilled onto the back and confusing balaclavas’
