It looks like the "Eastern Peoples" Gov't Officials eagle, but I have not seen one on a backing like that. Can you get a better photo for it?

Eastern peoples official eagle

Yes the rank stripes are standard run of the mill no thrill UK issue. The eagle on the other hand is nice! It is an eagle for an Eastern peoples territory governmental official, as worn in the Ukraine and General Gouvernment (Poland). Based on its shape and trim, I agree its for an M43 type field cap.

Hi, Some other ppl looked very carefull to it, and they said it is an insignia for a M43 cap from the TOD, also because the eagle looks to the other way.

not Org Todt,

Hi, Some other ppl looked very carefull to it, and they said it is an insignia for a M43 cap from the TOD, also because the eagle looks to the other way.

Sorry but I disagree... its for sure not an Org.Todt eagle, those look more like wehrmacht eagles. Its definitely an eastern peoples governmental cap eagle. The shape of the wing and eagle's head facing left are typical!
Here is a similar eagle for the jacket sleeve that recently sold on a dealer site and also on a coat:
