History


The German Wehrmacht was composed of three main branches, the Heer (Army), the Kriegsmarine (Navy), and the Luftwaffe (Air Force). The Heer and Kriegsmarine uniforms were based upon the designs utilized by their predecessor organizations, the Reichsheer and the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy). Conversely, the Luftwaffe uniforms were based upon the uniforms worn in the sports and paramilitary organizations that were the forerunners of the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe uniforms were specifically designed to deviate from the designs of the other Wehrmacht service branches. It was also necessary that the uniforms differentiate between military and civilian pilots.

Officer equivalent ranks of the Luftwaffe Forestry branch wore a Visored Field Cap that was also known as “Baschlikmütze”. It is similar in design to the mountain cap. The cap is grey-green with a Luftwaffe national emblem and a cockade below it. There is no wreath around the cockade.
