Neumann, Walter Grenzregiment 20 "Martin Schwantes". Standort Halberstadt. Die Regimentschronik

Did you serve in the NVA, the border troops or even in Halberstadt? Did you serve in Border Regiment 20 'Martin Schwantes' and at its individual locations in the Harz Mountains? If so, then this chronicle is the right thing for you. You will find a lot of things here that you may have forgotten and wanted to know again. For many border guards, Border Regiment 20 was another station in their border life for at least a year after training and will certainly still be remembered today.

Here you took your first steps in practical border service and experienced many things at the individual post points. Former soldiers and superiors recognise their border company or their superior staff and remember their exit in the border villages and especially their inns. For the former superiors of Border Regiment 20, it is also intended as a reminder of the place where they worked at the time. In particular, they will be reminded in the chronological table of many events of the relatively short existence of Border Regiment 20 in Halberstadt and its locations of the border battalions and border companies. With the end of Border Regiment 20, the history of the border service in the Harz Mountains also came to an end. Particularly interesting are the individual opinions of the border guards, most of which are reproduced verbatim.
