    As part of my interest in U-Boat stuff, I decided to try and get examples of all the normal cloth headgear worn by a typical U-Boat crew, based on photographic evidence. This in fact covers a wide range including the tropical helmet ( which I haven't got yet) bizarre though it seems to think of people clambering through narrow U-Boat hatches with big sun helmets !

    We have Michel as a member, and he has what I guess is one of the finest

    U-Boat collections in existence, so if we are lucky we may see some of his too.

    Here are a few of mine.

    And what the "inside" should look like on a cap with removable vs fixed top. Should always be a white "chessecloth" type covering to the crown.

    Whats the purpose of the removable top Gordon? For cleaning perhaps?
