Skorzeny's medals/tunic/visor and NSD-Studentenbund visor are going to be in an upcoming auction.
Being the political visor geek that I am, I have seen pix of this style visor before, but never in person. There are no period pix of this style in wear.
I have heard from a very reputable source that he first saw one of these hats in the early 70's. I have seen the eagles in person, but never on a hat.
I find it odd that Skorzeny would have owned one of these, given the fact that he would have been long out of the University by the time the Nazis came into power, not to mention the fact that he was in Austria then as well.
Anyone have any 411 on this hat or others like it?
