No, there is nothing similar worn over here.

Here a small impression of the Volkstrauertag from last year, if you need some of this year please let me know (the remembrance begins over just two hours, I will meet several veterans and their family over there).

Notice the red poppy wreath (from the Commonwealth veterans).
