Freiwilliger Helfer der Grenztruppen
The East German government established on June 5, 1958, the Freiwilliger Helfer der Grenzpolizei (English Voluntary Auxiliary of the Border Police), abbreviated 'FHG'. In 1961 the Border Police was renamed as Border Troops, therefore the denomination was changed to Freiwilliger Helfer der Grenztruppen (English Voluntary Auxiliary of the Border Troops). Officially the FHG should assist the Border Troops to sustain public safety and socialist system. Unofficially the main target was to close off the German border to West Germany and to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Germany. The FHG volunteers fulfilled their patrol missions in plain clothes, but were identifiable on their armband. This auxiliary service was defunct a few days before the German reunification in 1990.
