Never say never!
Wehrmacht (HEER) M42 cap in Waffen SS service!

[maestro]

wonder if this picture was towards end of war, middle or beginning?
i understand that some Heer visors were converted to SS visors towards the end of the war.. just a thought

This cap would come in the area "would never have in my collection".

This cap would come in the area "would never have in my collection".

I second that

He is an Estonian trooper...possibly a borderguard (Home Defence) soldier (they wore WH army uniforms) who got absorbed in the Estonian Waffen SS.
Many of these troops, as well as Schuma members, eventually transferred into the Waffen SS while defending Estonia, creating a hodge-podge of kit!

The Estonians seem to have broken every rule about uniforms!

What about this one.

SS soldier wearing dot pattern uniform and a Heer M43 cap.

[Jeroen wo2]

Is this a SS trap or a Heer on the cap, I can't see it?

[werner]

It's a Heer one.
We can see the eagle and the national emblem.
