HISTORY:
Following the founding of the Bundeswehr in 1955, West Germany equipped its armed forces with standardized garrison caps and field headwear designed for everyday duty uniform service. These side caps were regularly worn by army personnel during the height of the Cold War along the Inner German Border and during NATO exercises across Western Europe. This specific piece reflects standard-issue West German military production from late 1967.
