GERMAN FIELD CAPS
The famous German visored field cap was first issued in 1943, following the success of the SS camouflage version introduced the year before. Modeled on the short-visored cap long worn by mountain troops, it was an immediate success on all fronts. Two of the most popular versions were the desert tan model worn by the Afrikakorps and the reversible camouflage (green for summer and brown for autumn) worn by the Waffen SS. The Afrikakorps cap has the same red cotton lining as the originals. The field gray wool model was worn by both Army and Waffen SS and had a fold-down flap to cover the ears that was secured by 2 small aluminum buttons at the front. The same cap in black was worn by Army and SS panzer crews.
HAT SIZES Unlike modern caps, these caps are not adjustable. To order a cap you need to specify a size. Don’t be embarrassed if you don’t know your hat size — in this day of adjustable one-size-fits-all baseball caps most of us never think about it. INSIGNIA All of our caps are sold without insignia. We offer a large selection of Bevo insignia suitable for these caps. Look below the caps for the correct insignia for your cap. To determine your hat size CLICK HERE

BE SURE TO SPECIFY A HAT SIZE!

SHOULDER BOARDS NCO and enlisted shoulder straps were dark green in the Army, blue-gray in the Luftwaffe, and black in the Waffen SS. All were edged in the appropriate color for the branch of service (called waffenfarbe). Officers' shoulder boards were of silver cord, straight for junior officers (captain and below) and braided for senior officers (major and above), and were also edged or backed in the branch color: white for infantry, pink for panzer, and grass green for panzer grenadier. Generals had mixed gold and silver cords; the backing was red for the Army, white for the Luftwaffe, and light gray for the Waffen SS. The rank stars were gold on silver straps and silver on gold ones; NCO stars were silver, but smaller than the officer's. For a complete chart of shoulder board rank insignia CLICK HERE Our officer's and enlisted shoulder boards are converted East German types. The generals’ boards are made for us to World War II specifications (which is why they cost so much more).
