Description
Dansk: Tøjhusmuseet: Kasket for officer i Waffen SS. Feltgrå, med huebånd af sort fløjl, og med hvide lidser foroven og forneden. Foran et dødningehoved i hvidt metal. Sort lakskygge. Flettet, dobbelt silkehagerem. Mærket i pulden, den tyske ørn over hagekorsmærket er løs. Ret slidt. Kasketten har været brugt af giveren i hans tid som medlem af division Wiking. Giveren er oprindelig dansk løjtnant, der gik ind i Frikorps Danmark i 1941, senere overført til division Wiking under SS. Endte som oberst(Standartenführer). Hele hans udrustning er som for en officer af SS-tropperne. Helt tysk.
English: Peaked cap (German: Schirmmütze, visor cap) for an officer in Waffen-SS, the combat branch of the paramilitary SS organisation of Nazi Germany during World War II.
  • The cap is made of field gray material with a black velvet hatband, featuring white piping above and below. In the front, there is SS' death's head emblem (Totenkopf skull) in white metal, and it has a black lacquered visor. The cap comes with a silvery cord chin strap (Mützenkordel). The SS style German national eagle-and-swastika cap emblem (Hoheitszeichen, Mützenadler) on the cap is loose. It shows signs of wear and tear.
  • The cap was worn by the donor during his time as a member of the Wiking Division (5th SS Panzer Division Wiking). The donor, originally a Danish lieutenant, joined Free Corps Denmark (Danish: Frikorps Danmark) in 1941 and was later transferred to the Wiking Division within the SS. He eventually achieved the rank of Colonel (Standartenführer). His entire outfit is that of an officer in the SS troops and is entirely German.
