M34 cap made from British side cap

[skoczek44]

Hello,

I have overseas cap. Looks like M34 cap with removed eagle.

Cap was made from captured British Army early war side cap and has british War Department stamp when P is year 1941.

1. When German captured lots of equipment in Dunkirk made equipment from british webbing. Does anybody know the Germans took over the british warehouses in Tobruk?
2. Cap is lokal made in Afrika for DAK?
3.Cap was made in litzmannstadt for DAK?
4.Cap is very worn out and looks like POW cap (with out eagle)

Does anybody saw cap like this?

The Afrikakorps used a great deal of British uniform items, including shorts, shirts and solar helmets. There is no reason why they shouldn’t re-utilise the field service cap..

I’m curious about one of your theories though.. What makes you think it was modified in Litzmannstadt?

Interesting piece..

My theory of modified in Litzmannstadt it follows that British webbing was processed. German captured lot of British equimpment in Dunkirk and made Y straps ,pionier bag ,rucksack... in Litzmannstadt Getto.

My items made in Litzmannstadt with british webbing pieces.

Never seen one before, but I would go with the PoW theory.

I would think POW too because of the removed cap eagle
