History

The Kriegsmarine was Germany’s navy during World War II. Its officer visor caps used distinctive insignia and visor decoration to indicate officer grade, with a single row of gold-colored scalloped trim identifying the junior officer pattern. White covers were associated with summer wear, but aboard U-boats the white-topped cap became particularly associated with the commanding officer. Command was an appointment rather than a single rank, so a white U-boat cap should not be understood as exclusive to lieutenants or as routine headwear for every junior officer aboard a submarine.

With its white cotton crown, leather chinstrap, and distinctive junior officer detailing, this Kriegsmarine visor cap brings a recognizable WWII naval appearance to a uniform or collection. It is a practical choice for buyers seeking a reproduction for historical interpretation, period costuming, or display.
