ORDER YOUR TMAS ARDS NOW AT WONDERFUL ASSORTMENT! With Name Imprinted or Plain Irrigon Soldier Collects Uniforms IRRIGON Sgt. Donald Tusten, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walt Agee, recently was given recognition for his $2,000,000 collection of German uniforms and equip ment. The following article ap peared in "The Stars and Stripes" of October 3: "KITZINGEN, Germany (Spec ial) Three soldiers dressed in communist East Germany army uniforms stood before men of the U. S. Army's 1st Tank Bn. 64th Armor, 3rd Inf. Div. 'The quick identification of an enemy uniform can save your life," said the soldier in the German officer's uniform, "and it may well decide the outcome of the battle." The man was not an East German army officer, although he did own the uniform. He also owned the uniforms of the two other soldiers. Sgt. Donald Tus ten, Co. B, 1st Tank Bn. 64th Armor, is training NCO of the battalion. The uniforms were part of his $2,000.00 collection of German uniforms and equip ment he was displaying for nis company. "The East German uniforms are made in three colors," Trus ten explained. "They are the same as the Nazi uniforms of World War II, except that the Iron Cross and swastika have been removed. They are brown, worn by the border troops; green, representing the security police, and grey, the officer uni form. Assisting the sergeant were Pvt. Gilbert Flores, dressed in a marine uniform, and Pfc. Da vid Webb, who portrayed an East German Infantry soldier. Both were members of Co. B. The Russian and Czechoslo vakian governments, Tusten ex plained, are main sources of sup ply for East Germany's uni forms and equipment. With the advent of several East German border patrol guards escaping into the Western section while on duty, the ser geant said a knowledge of their uniforms may help the U. S. soldier in realizing who the es capee is. Ph. 676-9432
