Here is your chance to pick up a pretty outstanding Heer Transport troops officer visor cap. Quality. This cap is in nice condition with perfect shape overall. Nice bullion insignia. Lining in good condition overall. Some cracking of the leather sweatband, being the only major flaw. A couple moth nips to the wool, though all of this is on the back side which won’t be visible when on display. This particular piece of headgear looks just fantastic on display and is ready for your collection. A rare branch color you don’t often see! The Heer was the land forces component of the Wehrmacht, the regular German Armed Forces, from 1935 until it ceased to exist in 1945 and then formally dissolved in August 1946. During World War II, a total of about 13.6 million soldiers served in the German Army. Germany’s army personnel were made up of volunteers and conscripts. Only 17 months after Adolf Hitler announced publicly the German rearmament program, the Army reached its projected goal of 36 divisions. During the autumn of 1937, two more corps were formed. In 1938 four additional corps were formed with the inclusion of the five divisions of the Austrian Army after the Anschluss in March. During the period of its expansion under Hitler, the German Army continued to develop concepts pioneered during World War I, combining ground (Army) and air (Luftwaffe) assets into combined arms forces. The German military managed quick victories in the two initial years of World War II, a new style of warfare described as Blitzkrieg for its speed and destructive power.
