    I remember reading some ware many years ago that this is what the purpose for these cords were used for, and not just for decorations, It was used to keep your'e visor on your'e head on windy days.

      Hitler must have picked it up from Goering--these pics are of him in 1935:

        Likely would have looked a lot stupider if the hat would have blown off and Der Fuhrer running after it.

          Yeah I have seen a few pics of the fat boy wearing his visor in this fashion, just had to be on windy days I would agree.

            I think when we start criticizing Hitler or Goering because either they are wearing their uniforms wrong, or we think their uniforms are inauthentic, perhaps we are the ones with a problem.

              Just go with it, man - there hasn't been this much discussion on this forum for a while.

              I hope you all know that this post was just a bit of fun anyway, as a visor collector I am well versed in the proper use of the chincord.

                Ok- I did not get the tone. I have been dealing with some collectors lately who, if they could go back in time to a Nurnberg rally, would come back to the present to complain that half the uniforms they saw there not textbook enough for their taste.

                I will try to keep my sense of humor intact. toad

                  Sometimes its just far better to avoid wearing a hat when engaged in certain outdoor activities,
                  especially when blind-folded!
