Well, but I think it could be part of a more critical West-German attitude (not to be meant as insult!!!) towards military ... I'm from former East-Germany and there we're used to military ceremonies, bestowal of medals and uniforms (police & army) that we're pretty much the same as in the Third Reich.
... Really strange the ambivalence of the GDR looking back :?
this could be true, yeah.
