    History


    The Mountain Cap was worn by mountain, Jäger, and ski units, distinguishable by their respective cap insignia (see Headgear Insignia). It developed into an elite unit status symbol.

    The cap was made of field-grey cloth with a cloth visor. The ear flaps were secured by two buttons, which were field-grey for enlisted men and NCOs, and silver-coloured and pebbled for Officers.

    Silver-coloured (for ranks below Ge ...  neral) and gold-coloured (for General ranks) piping was introduced on October 3, 1942.

    The insignia, the red, white, and black cockade with the wreath of oak leaves and the national eagle, were embroidered, which included silver-coloured wire for Officers.

    The Mountain Cap was discontinued with the introduction of the Visored Field Cap M43 on June 11, 1943.
