Comment

The Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik (GST) was one of the East German “Mass Organizations”. It was established to structure the free time of young people interested in sports and technology in group activities, provide the required technical equipment (for example, motorcycles, aircraft, radios), cultivate and support technical sport disciplines, and arrange for events like motor and shooting competitions.
