The M43 Standard Field Cap
The M43 Einheitsfeldmütze ("standard field cap"*) was similar to the M41 camouflaged field cap, but made of wool and the skirt was applied to the cap once again. The M43 had many small changes depending on the branch of the Wehrmacht, but are nearly identical to the untrained eye.
- the "Feldmütze" was the German garrison (side) cap, which the much more popular M43 was intended to (and essentially did) replace.
