The SS camouflage cap

[kammo man]

One of the items issued to the Waffen SS was the ground breaking camouflage cap.
This cap was cut in 1 basic style but had several minor Variations from maker to maker.
I will show these and explain the minor ins and outs of this piece of head gear that is the worlds first en mass issued camouflage cap.
If anyone wants to contribute please do as long as it helps the tone that the thread was started.

All original caps have A sewing line disappear into the peak like this.
It can vary in the inch measurement
