East German Infantry (Nationale Volksarmee)
The creation of the National People’s Army on March 1, 1956, six months after the formation of the West German Bundeswehr, followed years of preparation during which former Wehrmacht officers and Communist veterans of the Spanish Civil War helped organize and train paramilitary units of the People's Police. With its German appearance--including uniforms and ceremonies patterned after older German military traditions--the doctrine and structure of the NVA were strongly influenced by the armed forces of the Soviet Union, thus mixing elements of the 20th century's most innovative and successful schools of military in a force which, for its size, was considered one of the most professional and prepared of the world.
During Fulda Gap 2009 the core team for the East German Infantry will be Krisis based out of Kanappolis, North Carolina. Captained by Duane "Saint" Herman , this will be Krisis' second year playing for the Warsaw Pact but first year as a Core Unit.
Krisis is a well know and experienced scenario paintball team recognized for their outstanding role playing skills and special weapons such as the Revelation and the Omega.
