Re: SS Hats - A study of period photos
Those are some of the best pictures of caps ive seen especially in one place and period worn, i agree about the rakish way the hats are arranged , almost to the point of complete disfigurement in some and its strange that they were allowed to get away with it, as Ade said a Sgt/Majors nightmare

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Re: SS Hats - A study of period photos
Can anyone explain this guy's cap to me?
Re: SS Hats - A study of period photos
By the way thanks for the link, Ade. There are some fantastic photos on that site.
Re: SS Hats - A study of period photos
That's the cap of the Flemish Germanic SS. (Allgemeene SS Vlaanderen / Germaansche SS in Vlaanderen)
Instead of the national eagle, the Germanic SS formations in Flanders had this elongated Swastika, those in the Netherlands had a "Wolf's Hook" and the Danish Schalburg-Korps a winged "mobile" Swastika, while the Death's Head was common to all of them.
(The man in the photograph SS-Onderstormleider August Schollen, murdered on 4 December 1942 in Brussels.)
