Here is a close-up of the goggles on his hat at the Panzer museum:

Thanks to Bob, here is a pic of another Rommel visor being utilized by the costume designer for the "Desert Fox".
This one has the shape of his DAK visor, but is missing the chincords:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Rommel's "Normandy" visor appears to have had a variant bullion wreath that is slightly wider than normal--almost like those worn by OT Generals:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Thank you for the post I enjoyed the subject! What a shame such a Great man was cast aside...We need more like him.Thank you for your post! Regards,Geoff

This SS Officer was the trendsetter for Rommel--he is wearing captured Brit anti-gas goggles during the French campaign:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
