      Erel is correct. ALMI stands for Aloyse Mies, who made primarily Luftwaffe tropical overseas caps and uniforms for the Luftwaffe. They were based out of Koblenz. However, in 1940, when the Nazis invaded Luxembourg, they appropriated a Jewish-owned clothing factory in Pfaffenthal, and apparently made uniforms there until 1945. Prior to the war, and after, it went by the name Vestimenta.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

          I believe the invoice reads "ALfred MIess" not Aloyse Mies.
