"Geheime Feldpolizei"-HPC-officers visor

[Grenzwolf]

Hello.

I want to show something, that is considered rare here
in germany.
What is interesting for me, is the construction of the
air-floating-system.
What do you think?

That is the first HPC "GFP" visor I can recall seeing.
There is a consensus (which I ascribe to) that these hats were not for the GFP, as the GFP would simply have worn Beamte piping on their hats.
It is believed that these were for some Speer-related organisation, but we are not sure which.

the special Frischluft-system from Hermann Potthoff is nicely shown here!

I thought we had a thread dedicated to HPC visors, but it must be on the other forum.

In any event, here is a LW NCO:

HPC Frischluft LW Extramuetze

It must be this forum, as on WAF I never had any image, just here at War Relics.
The thread must include a leafleat aboyt the Potthoff system.

Here is the one I was thinking of:

Hi

I thought we had a HPC thread as well .............I know they have been posted in detail somewhere on this forum.....

I was looking at the example above and noticed the air vents are different from the one I own. So the question that came to mind is did Herman have different air vent systems ?

The one above has fewer holes and no flap to close the "fresh air" vents. May be a red flag or it may not, comments and ideas, opinions invited.
