Many Freikorps units became part of the new Reichsheer, they kept some insignia as honour badges "Epp" being one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 From the Litzen, apparently Reichsheer Inf Rgt 19, "wearing out" the old field cap which, in that form of dress, only bore the state cockade. The later billed field cap with cloth visor also only wore a single state cockade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
