During World War II, the German city of Plauen was almost completely destroyed, and after the war fell under the Soviet sphere of influence. Eventually Plauen found a place in the Soviet planned economy, continuing to manufacture lace for military and government contracts. In 1989, Plauen became the site of one of the first mass demonstrations against the communist government, one of many that lead to German Reunification in 1990.Item is in new original package with solder carrying AK jumping over wall.1970's era East German manufactureGreat pairings for other military or German historical collectiblesKey Specifications:Scarf Material: PolyesterScarf Dimensions: 26" x 26"Doily Material: Cotton and Plauen LaceDoily Dimensions: 11.5" x 11.5"Country of Origin: East GermanyCondition: New, never issued, Sealed in original package
