Description
This reproduction Luftwaffe Officer’s Cap is crafted to replicate the headgear worn by German air force officers during the Second World War. The cap is made from a sturdy blue-grey wool fabric, typical of Luftwaffe uniforms, with a black band circling the base. Silver piping outlines the crown, adding definition to its shape. At the front, a silver-colored Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika,a symbol historically used by the German military at the time,is prominently displayed above twin silver cords that lie just above the patent leather visor. Inside, a leather sweatband lines the cap, offering a more comfortable fit when worn. Available in sizes 7-1/4″, 7-1/2″, and 7-3/4″, it can be selected to suit different head measurements.
Please note: ACC holds no sympathetic regard toward Nazis, fascists, or other neo-political parties, past or present. This product is intended for historical purposes only.
Fun fact: During wartime, the silver piping and eagle insignia on Luftwaffe officer caps helped ground crews and pilots quickly identify officers amid the hectic environment of airfields and command centers, making them practical as well as symbolic.
