Luftwaffe Pilot's Crusher Cap

Picture
This type crusher cap was made famous by such pilots as Erich Hartmann and Gunther Rall. These had little or no padding so they could be "crushed" and placed in the pilot's belt or inside his jacket. They had a soft leather peak, or sometimes the late war vulcan fibre peak with simulated stitching  on it.

The cap shown below has been aged to show much wear and use, half the logo is missing from wear, and the   leather sweatband is worn and wrink
