    Propaganda Ministry Visor

    Believe it or not, photographers in Goebbel's Propaganda Ministry had their own uniforms and visor cap. I still have yet to see what I consider to be a real one in person or in pics. Further, I am aware of only one pic of this uniform in wear.

    Here is the official uniform in wear--note the grey velvet band appears to be darker than the grey wool body of the visor:

      Note how the band above appears to be more of the brushed cotton that velvet.

      Does anyone else have pics of this visor in wear?

        Can you let us know which reference your first pic came from?

          Sorry but I can't believe you're actually using Huesken as a potential source for an original rare item like this

            That visor looks East German (DDR)

              I agreed with VPpat on this visor hat that was featured on Huseken's site. Note the visor bill was plastic not vulkanfiber which was ususally found on most Third Reich visor hats. East German(DDR) visor hats in its early days before 1965 had vulkanfiber bill. After that year,DDR visor bills had switched to plastic. And also the hat in Huseken's site strongly resembled closely to DDR Red Cross visor hat.

                I have owned (and own) a few DDR DRK visors, but they are lower-peaked, not as padded, and the gray is darker. I have no doubt this Propadanda is a ground-up repro, and am publishing it for reference only. I have seen 4 of these visors of late, all of different "manufacture", but all fakes. I am just hoping to flush out a real one one of these days, but after all these years, I am not optomistic....

                  Hi Stonemint, Thanks for your comments on the fake Propaganda Ministry visor hats! Yup,I owned two DDR DRK visor hats both officer and EM before I sold them on eBay few years ago. The DDR DRK visors have much light-colored gray shade. Do you see any authentic Third Reich-era Propaganda Ministry visor hats??? I am sure that they are hard to find!
