  • Uniform side cap (Feldmütze, field cap, Schiffchen) of a General in the army of Nazi Germany (German: Wehrmacht Heer), with national cockade, an eagle-and-swastika cap badge (Hoheitszeichen, "national emblem"; Wehrmachtsadler, "armed forces eagle"; Mützenadler, "cap eagle") and piping in gold bullion wire.
    • uniforms and ranks and insignia of the German Army (1935–1945): The original soft headdress for the Heer, introduced in 1934, was a folding garrison or envelope cap in feldgrau wool. (...) Insignia consisted of an embroidered national emblem (Wehrmachtsadler) and red-white-black cockade, and (until 1942) an inverted chevron (soutache) in Waffenfarbe.
