    The photo numbered 733 is from my collection. It shows sailors of the German raider SMS Wolf in World War 1. I think that the men in the other photo are wearing the general sailors'hat with the white top.

    The all white Bordmütze, to my knowledge, was no longer used from the mid-1930s, but here is a fine example from the days of the Reichsmarine, pre 1930 (when the lettering changed to Fraktur script). This type of hat can be recognized because below the tally, the white material of the hat is always visible.

    Thanks Odulf for your kindly and quickly input, apart if would be possible you or someone add a pic from same cap but with Kriegsmarine devices or a cap itself (no pic on wear)? ?

    At ease - sailors of the Marine Signalstelle (M.S.S.) Wangerooge.

    Their cap tallys read "Marinenachrichtenstelle Cuxhaven". The photo is dated 10. Mai 1939.

    The Wangerooge Isle is situated on the North Sea cost, at the mouth of the Jade Bight, leading to Wilhelmshaven (West) and Bremerhaven (East). The place is of great military importance, and in ww2 the island was an important Naval stronghold, crammed with both Coastal and Anti-Aircraft Artillery batteries and even a small airstrip.
