    Blue Division/Spanish Civil War SEU hat HELP

    Hi, This is my first Post. I'm Happy to be here. I recently came in possession of this hat that I believe is either a WW2 "Blue Division" or Spanish Civil War overseas hat with the SEU (Sindicato Universitario Espanol) pin/badge. If I am correct, these volunteers fought in the Spanish Civil War and subsequently volunteered to fight for Germany during WW2 in the "Blue Division" on the Eastern Front. I have come across period photos of Blue Division soldiers with the SEU patch on their German Tunics, but have been unable to find any with this type hat and SEU badge.
    If at all possible, I would like some help identifying this hat (as original) and badge as to being worn by WW2 Blue Division soldiers and or SEU Volunteers during the Spanish Civil War.

        No doubt the insignia is the kind of the SEU, milicias universitarias, but these would be post Spanish Civil War (1939 onwards). Have a look at the following links:

          This insignia could be used by Blue Division volunteer (model 1942-1944), but I have never seen a period photo with this overseas cap in wear.

          regards

            Yes, as you said... my SEU Insignia look just like the one you sent that would be worn 1939 onward or 1942-44. I'm sure a soldier would possibly have placed the insignia on a hat, at sometime. But it would be nice to find a period photo of the hat and the insignia. It would be an interesting part of history. Thanks... I'll keep looking.
