i wonder why

I often wonder why the high generals never used scrambled eggs on their visors like the Kriegsmarine

The application of bill ornamentation is a worldwide Naval rank tradition, like sleeve stripes for rank. Ground forces of the time did not use such trim in any service. regards, Robert

A good example to illustrate the point, thanks. A high-ranking Field Marshall's cap with no visor ornamentation.
