Summary edit

Description
English: Black ski cap (peaked field cap) with SS' skull and crossbones/death's head (Totenkopf) cap insignia, worn by the Germanske SS Norge (GSSN), "Norwegian General SS", a paramilitary organization established in German occupied Norway during World War II in July 1942. The unit was as a Norwegian branch of the Germanic-SS and a sub organization of Vidkun Quisling's collaborationist fascist party National Union (Nasjonal Samling, NS).
The GSSN men were issued black uniforms of the Allgemeine SS, but their collars had a sunwheel swastika instead of the SS-runes (doppelte Siegrune), and the "GSSN Raven" on the left sleeve instead of the German eagle-and-swastika (SS Ärmeladler) as well as Germanske SS Norge on a cuff title (Ärmelband).

Norsk bokmål: Uniformslue for Germanske SS Norge (GSSN), en tysk troppeenhet av norske frivillige som ble etablert i Norge under andre verdenskrig i juli 1942: Skilue («alpejegerlue») med SS' hodeskallesymbol (Totenkopf).

GSSN var underlagt det tyske nazistpartiets Germanske-SS, men også tilknyttet Quislings fascistparti Nasjonal Samling (NS). GSSN hadde over 1200 medlemmer i 1944.
Utenlandske frivillige i Germanische-SS ble utstyrt med tyske SS-uniformer. Medlemmene i GSSN fikk Allgemeine-SS' avlagte, svarte uniformer fra 1930-tallet, men SS-runene på kragespeilet på høyre jakkeoppslag ble byttet ut med et «solhjul-symbol», en blanding av NS' solkors og nazistenes hakekors. Dessuten ble SS' tyske hakekorsørn på venstre erme byttet ut med et eget ravnemerke med solkors (NS' «solørn»), og samme jakkeerme hadde båndstripe med teksten «Germanske SS Norge».
