That one is pretty cool!!
Actually did a lot of reading on these Bergbau men..
Some Officers from the Heer did service 6 months at a time in the mines supervising the work.. maybe that's why some had the eagle on their caps?
Pages from the old Nimmergut book, showing the 1940 regulation changes, and the above-style insignia in use.
IMO, a lot of Bergbau men just slapped whatever eagle they could find on their hats, regs be damned:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
