Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Uniform cap of an admiral in the Wehrmacht Kriegsmarine, the navy of Nazi Germany (Third Reich): Peaked visor cap (Schirmmütze) with golden insignia/cap badges (Mützenabzeichen)
    • Metal Kriegsmarine style golden Hoheitszeichen/Hoheitsadler, the Third Reich 'eagle-and-swastika' (Hakenkreuzadler) national and military emblem featuring an art deco Reichsadler with expanded wings clutching a swastika inside a circular oak wreath (also called Mützenadler, "cap eagle" and Wehrmachtsadler, "armed forces eagle")
    • Cockade surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves (Kokarde und Blattkranz, Mützenkranz, Eichenlaub) in the centre of the cap band
    • Golden bullion leaf-shaped decoration ("scrambled egg" embellishment) on visor (bestickter Mützenschirm, Goldfadenstickerei auf dem Mützenschirm) as insignia for navy officers. The visor caps of Senior Officers below the rank of Admiral, including Stabsoffiziere, Musikinspizienten, and Korvettenkapitän through to Kommodore, feature a single row of interlocking gold-coloured oak leaves, embroidered in bullion or celleon, along with the visor’s border.
    • Summer model with white crown/top cover
