Is this Heer peak cap real?

[Jody]

Hello folks,
I have a question is this cap an Erel or a Pekuro?

Regards,
Jody

Yes, and I see it's being modeled by Col. Claus "Maverick" von Cruisenberg.

I busted out laughing today when the Drudge report posted this pic--I never thought I would see the day when a hollywood actor would look ridiculous in a Nazi uniform, but Cruise has more than risen to the occasion--even with his cap, he still looks 5' 8" (he should have worn a Pekuro)...,

Entertainment Tonight did a piece today on this and at the beginning of the show said that he was wearing a SS officer uniform. duh.

Hello,
I think it was on the show Extra that they said he was a general.

Er ist eine Schande zur Uniform. Ja?

Mitunter....aber die groesste Schande ist diejenige gegen die Person Stauffenbergs sowie von Tresckows, Becks und viele andere mehr. Man kann nicht so viel essen wie man kotzen moechte...

Yes, dishonor is very hard to swallow and even harder to cover up!

An insider on the set added: "The project means so much to Tom. This is one Nazi's uniform he can wear with pride."

Stauffenberg's family are, however, less enthusiastic about the project.

Some relatives of the highly-decorated officer have criticised the casting, fearing that Cruise - as a disciple of the controversial Church of Scientology - will "inject" the cult's propaganda into the film.

In an interview for the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung, Stauffenberg's eldest son, Berthold, said: "He should leave my father alone. He should go climb a mountain or go surfing in the Caribbean. I don't give a hoot as long as he keeps out of it."

Quite funny!
