Historical reference.
The cap was the general headdress of the German soldier since 1943, almost replacing the side-cap. Eagle and cockade or a combined emblem in the form of a trapezoid (or in the form of the letter T) was worn on it.
Model 1943 cap made of black cloth was used in tank units. Concerning the SS, black caps ware also used in tank units only; no "extraordinary SS" units in black caps existed.
