A short history of Knittel with visors...
1933 or 1934
Ploești, spring 1941
Austria, spring 1941
Russia, summer 1941
Nangis, spring 1942
Bretteville, autumn 1942
Charkow, spring 1943
"Zitadelle" preperations, summer 1943
Neu-Ulm, spring 1944
Turnhout, spring 1944
Photos of Knittel and his fellow students in Bad Tolz show Schiffchen such as this pic from spring 1938
In the well-known Ardennes photos he wears this M43 cap
I have loads of other pics but this gives a general idea. The officers visor could be genuine but the nco cap is nowhere to be seen
