REISSUED ENLISTED RANKS OVERSEAS CAP:
Scarce example of an overseas cap as reissued to
Heer
enlisted & NCO ranks from captured Dutch army stocks.
The Dutch army employed a near perfect matching shade of
field grey wool to their uniforms, warehouses of which
were captured by the Wehrmacht. The caps were
depot converted by the addition of a front panel of
matching field grey wool, ventilation grommets and
insignia. These were typically intended for secondary
formations but in many cases ended up issued to Eastern
troops. This cap carries M40 style BeVo insignia
neatly hand applied to the front.The interior has a full
lining of grey cotton twill that retains the remnants of
markings. the cap shows light wear with some age and a
few small moth nips on the side panels. Condition II-
