Summary edit

Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Polizeitschako/Polizei-Tschako, the characteristic police shako of the Schutzpolizei (Protection Police) of Nazi Germany.
    • Most German police forces adopted a version of the Jäger shako, after World War I, which replaced the spiked leather helmet (Pickelhaube) identified with the previous Imperial regime. This new "bump hat" was worn by the civilian police forces of the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany, East Germany, and West Germany into the 1970s. See Shako, M1936: O/RS, Schutzpolizei (SchuPo, the regular police) in the collections of The Imperial War Museum, UK.
    • Police eagle insignia. The basic design of the Hoheitsabzeichen (national emblem) of Nazi Germany was a spread imperial eagle (Reichsadler) over a swastika (Hakenkreuz). The police version of the "eagle-atop-swastika|" emblem was enclosed in a wreath of oak leaves. This wreathed Polizeiadler ("police eagle") was worn as a cap badge and on the left sleeve by all uniformed police.
    • The cockade (Kokarde), in black, white and red, representing the traditional national colours of Germany, was worn on every German Police cap. When worn on the shako as a Tschako-Nationale, it was oblong (oval) in shape and framed with a silver cord.
