Re: Muetzenfabrik
Marvelous material, Ben, marvelous. I own one of these wooden forms which came with the magic book.

Re: Muetzenfabrik
Very nice piece and sorry you did not get it. I own an earlier brochure on the ins and outs of uniform tailoring, which by 1933 had shriveled as a branch of the trade and industry and which the NS regime was at pains to revive.
Thanks and better luck next time.
Such is also evidence of why the fakes of today will never really be of the quality of former times, despite much effort to the contrary.

Another snapshot in time.
Text auf dem Foto:

Bis 1949 Mützen produktionpflichtig. Ab 1950 frei. 3) 1955 Produktion unter gleichen Bedingungen jedoch qualitativ wesentlich besseres ...(unleserlich)material. Einzelanfertigung. 1955 Mutter: Marie Bennewitz Rudolf Bennewitz Andreas Bennewitz Gerda Bennewitz u. Otto
9 Generationen Kürschnermeister Bennewitz in Wurzen (seit 1652), bis zur Flucht 1952 immer an gleicher Stelle, Albert-Kuntz-Straße 1, Ecke Schuhgasse. Die 10. Generation Otto Bennewitz jetzt (2010) in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, das Haus ist wieder in Familienbesitz.

This entry here should also put the lie to the idea that a huge market in reproduction caps existed at war's end and in the years of rubble, as a close reading of the comparison of the years 1945, 1950 and 1955 makes clear that there were no raw materials, i.e. fabric, to make caps in 1945 and even the proposition was not without contradictions in the year 1950. Thanks to colleagues for adding nice, interesting and useful material versus the junk and claptrap that operates on the other site.

Re: Muetzenfabrik
I saw this image, too, with the price tag. I do not think that the Gehirnbremse is native to said hat, but the state of preservation is a poem.
These caps were not especially costly for the persons in question, despite what the coffee table book author suggests. Also, the officers got a clothing allowance.
I was just in Boeblingen, actually, and saw no hats...just prototype Merecedes cars being tested.

Re: Muetzenfabrik
Such camouflaged vehicles from Damiler are all over the place in the neighborhood, as Boeblingen is very close to Sindelfingen.
I was not there to test cars, though, mind you.
