Luftwaffe M43 cap with trapezoid badge in wear?

[PaulW]

Hi, I've been looking around recently and I don't seem to be able to come across pictures of Luftwaffe M43 caps with a trapezoid in wartime photographs, from memory I can't recall seeing any either.

Does anyone have one to show, or any links? I realise that the last months of the war are not as well recorded as earlier parts of the war due to the chaos of those times, which may explain it of course, but I'm also wondering if not that many were issued to the Luftwaffe?

Regards, Paul

Found a picture at last thanks to WAF member "veloce" posting a link to this thread elsewhere on the Forum:-

One caption suggests a 1945 date for the picture of these POW's. You can see the trapezoid insignia clearly on the Luftwaffe officer to the left.

Possibly another on the cap of the soldier over his right shoulder too?

(BTW - try the link, some fantastic pictures!)
