Well, it is a cold and rainy day here in California so I thought that I would share some of my cut-offs...

Those are great! So are your eagles. Then comes the non-Luft ones!!

[Willi Z.]

Nice ones Mark! We look forward in seeing some more of yours.

Makes me SICK seeing visor hats cut offs. Why cut off 20% of a hat, why not keep the hole thing togehter. STUPID.
And crusher cut offs ...

Because there was a war going on and these were just souvenirs to soldiers. Just the captured junk of a enemy nation.

Perfect summation!

Perfect summation!

Indeed.

You can tell most cut items are rough cut, likely to have been a bayonet or field knife. Once cut they placed it in their musette bag and carried on. No room for a complete uniform or cap.

I agree with Willi

Grunts (Infantry) had to hump (carry) everything on their backs. A lot less weight keeping just the cut-off insignia rather than the entire uniform or hat.
