BACKGROUND: The Third Reich pattern national eagle was officially introduced in February 1934 and regulations decreed it was to be worn on the steel helmet, visor caps, all tunics and field blouses. Later amendments to the introductory order stipulated that the national eagle also be worn on all field caps, the sports uniform and the black panzer wrap. Generally the national eagle for wear on the EM/NCO’s overseas and M43 field caps were machine woven, first in white on a dark green base, (circa 1934), then later in matte grey on a field-grey base, (circa 1939) and on tan (circa 1941 for the AFRIKA KORPS and other Tropical areas.
