RE: More Feldmützen & Reenactorisms

As a follow-up to my previous post, here is a picture that illustrates all the various "styles" that Feldmützen could come in. Because of the decentralized nature of the German uniform procurement during the First World War, each Army Corp area contracted directly with vendors so there could be a wide variation from the official army standard.


The above picture is humorous, entitled "A Sunday with no money" which seems to symbolize the universal soldier's situation. Note the variety of Feldmützen with this group- some stovepipe, some more tapered.
