English: Peaked cap (Schirmmütze) of a general in the Schutzstaffel (SS), the major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany.

The high-fronted visor cap is decorated with SS' versions of the Hoheitszeichen/Hoheitsadler insignia (German Imperial and Nazi Party eagle) and the Totenkopf badge (the skull and crossbones emblem adopted from the Totenkopfhusaren, the 5th Hussar/Life-Guard Cavalry Regiment of Prussia).

Epicartifacts.com: The visor cap (Schirmmütze) was an important part of the headgear worn by German uniformed military, civil, paramilitary and political organizations during the Third Reich. This was the standard cloth headgear worn as a part of the service uniform. Visor caps were worn outdoors as well as indoors, and were often required to be worn by all personnel on duty. Visor caps were made in versions specific to each organization and were often further differentiated through the use of insignia, colored piping, or style of chin cord, to indicate rank, role or branch. The insignia used on these caps ranged from simple stamped metal emblems, to elaborate hand embroidery. Visor caps were issued to enlisted soldiers and NCOs in the military and in some other organizations.
