The crown of the black SS cap rose over the period from 1932 until 1939 in a series of stages, which is a way to determine, more or less, the date
of the cap. This process corresponded with the 4 forms of the NSDAP cap cut in the military style introduced in 1933.
Wim Saris has described this process in his book.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

The original NSDAP peaked cap was modeled on the army field cap of the wartime. The SS began to wear a military style peaked cap before the NSDAP in general.
