Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: Tschako Polizeigeneral
English: Polizei-Tschako, Police Shako of Nazi Germany
  • Most German police forces adopted a version of the Jäger shako, after World War I, which replaced the spiked leather helmet (Pickelhaube) identified with the previous Imperial regime. This new "bump hat" was worn by the civilian police forces of the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany, East Germany, and West Germany into the 1970s. See Shako, M1936: O/RS, Schutzpolizei (SchuPo, the regular police) in the collections of The Imperial War Museum, UK.
  • "World War II German Police Units" by Gordon Williamson: The normal service dress headgear for the Schutzpolizist was a shako with a stiff fibre body covered in grey-green cloth (greener than the Army feldgrau), with black lacquered front and rear peaks (visors) and a flat black lacquered crown; on either side of the body were two mesh ventilation holes, and a black leather chin strap was fitted. The insignia were a large aluminium alloy Police-pattern wreathed eagle national emblem, below an elongated oval cockade in the national colours. Officers wore metal chin scales in place of the leather chin strap, and a cockade embroidered in metallic thread. General officers wore gilt rather than silvered metal fittings. For parade dress, a long black horsehair plume was worn with the shako (later changed to white for officers).
