Germany
As the development place of positive steps, Germany can come down in one continuous line in the unified German regime after Prussia. In fact, before the end of World War II, the German army had been reviewing the tradition of positive steps. Hitler thought that marching forward could effectively rectify discipline, so in the1920s, Hitler took the lead in advancing the March of Prussian troops within the Nazi stormtroopers. 1933, after the Nazi Party came to power, marching officially became the footwork of the SS and the German Bundeswehr. 1937, when Mussolini visited Berlin, he worshipped the March of the German army and brought it to Italy. After the end of World War II, the western Federal Republic of Germany completely abolished the parade as one of the symbols of Nazism, while the eastern Democratic Germany still retained the tradition of parade. 1990, the democratic Germany before reunification also abolished the rule of positive steps.
Russia
During the czar period, Prussia was introduced to Russia as the only formal step of military parade. After the October Revolution, the new socialist regime inherited and carried forward the Russian tradition of positive and enterprising, and made some modifications. With the expansion of superpower power, the socialist countries in Eastern Europe gradually incorporated military training skills into it. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited the positive steps of the former Soviet era, and large-scale celebrations (such as the victory anniversary of the Great Patriotic War) still maintained the tradition of positive steps. Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and other socialist countries or former socialist countries were influenced by the Soviet Union, while Iran was influenced by Germany.
China
The People's Liberation Army of China has always attached importance to the first step training, believing that it is an important form to establish military discipline and reflect military power, so it is strict with the first step training. Some people say that the March of the PLA originated in the Soviet Union. Actually, this is not right. Originated from the ancient Prussian code, it is most similar to the March of Nazi Germany, except that the swing arm is big and the arm is raised high and flat, and the others are basically the same. In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the People's Liberation Army took a step ahead of Britain from the beginning, as can be seen from the military parade in founding ceremony. There is a line in the film "Liu Tie 1949" dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China: "The head of the Central Military Commission held a meeting overnight and agreed that Soviet-style marching was not suitable for China soldiers, and finally decided to give up Soviet-style marching and adopt the infantry code formulated by Commander Liu Bocheng himself." This infantry code is based on the German positive step, and draws lessons from the experience of the Soviet Union. It has been changed, mainly by increasing the arm swing and adjusting the stride to adapt to the China people's body shape. 1964, the military parade clause appeared for the first time in the People's Liberation Army's Queue Ordinance.
The standard posture of the People's Liberation Army's advance was set by General Shaw himself. 1950, according to the requirements put forward by the central government that the army should have unified command, unified system, unified establishment and unified discipline, Xiao Ke, then Minister of Military Training, organized relevant personnel to write three rules: discipline, internal affairs and queue. The implementation of the three laws has provided a strong guarantee for the regularization of our army. Today, the three laws are still the basic basis for our army to run the army according to law.
North Korea; South Korea
North Korea accepted the Soviet Union's marching queue regulations and improved them, forming its own unique style. When the Korean People's Army advances, it does not swing its arms, kicks at right angles, and its center of gravity gradually changes between its feet, which is very imposing but difficult. In addition to Cuba being influenced by the Soviet Union, the positive steps of the United States are mainly influenced by excellent German military instructors, such as Argentina and other countries.
United States of America
Although there are also large military parades in the United States, the United States believes that marching is a symbol of dictatorship in the old continent, and from the perspective of training difficulty and ergonomics, there is no marching in the US military queue regulations. Ethiopia and Angola were influenced by the Soviet Union.
