Ben,
A very good question...and one I'm afraid I don't have an exact answer for. If anyone could cite any wartime regulations regarding this, I'd like to hear of it. The closest Wilkins addresses it is thus:

A very good question...and one I'm afraid I don't have an exact answer for. If anyone could cite any wartime regulations regarding this, I'd like to hear of it. The closest Wilkins addresses it is thus:
"Once the war was fully underway, frontline soldiers holding ranks lower than sergeant actually had few opportunities to wear a visor cap. While on leave from the front, the normal headgear was the M34 field cap (garrison cap), later, the standard field cap (M43)."
It makes me wonder...have you ever seen a government-issued Heer enlisted visor cap with a 1943-45 date inside? I sense the vast majority date from the late 1930's, wouldn't you agree?Paul
