Hi ! Guys.
Any thoughts on this peaked cap ?
It has been said that it belongs to the Ministry of Propaganda ?...
But i have never seen anything like this before.
Sold by a militaria dealer in Sweden.
Best regards:
Michael.

No, definitely not propaganda.
IMO, it is a BRD civil visor with added TR insignia.
Can you get interior photos?
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
More detailed pictures are required of both the outside and inside to form a judgement. It would be very easy to add a civil eagle and cocarde to any blue visor cap. I would like to see some documentation from the dealer as to how he attributes this cap. I always felt members of the propaganda ministry wore the political leader uniform.

As Bob says: better photos would be okay.
It could be Zivilkraftfahrer. Maybe?
Well, it is plainly not a "BRD" cap, if it was made in Vienna before or after the year 1945.
Austria was no longer a part of the Greater German Reich after May 1945.
My friend ErWeSa is the personage to consult on things Austrian in these spaces.
Had a quick look in my files and must conclude it is not a
Zivilkaftfahrer!
It is close to "Kraftdroschkenführer", which is a sort of
taxi-driver (often a coach). But then the insignia is wrong, as far as I know.
Maybe in later years such person was allowed to use the state eagle, which
occasionally was allowed by state personnel.
How lucky we are to have Wim's fine and expert aid, and with such speed and precision. Many warm thanks.
Many thanks!!!
Michael.
