Description
Finishing touches are always the most satisfying part of any impression. Finish off yours with this accurate reproduction of a German Waffen SS Officer Cap Skull. Made with silver bullion thread embroidered on a black woollen backing – you can expect your cap to look more menacing than before.
The skull or TotenKopf was worn on the cap of all Waffen SS Officers and it was there to remind that you shall always be willing to put yourself at stake for the life of the whole community. It was resurrected for the early Stabswache (Hitler’s bodyguards) before the unit eventually became the Schutzstaffel (SS.)
This fine reproduction rivals the original and is perfect for any enthusiast or impressionist looking for the finishing touches to their cap.

The SS (Schutzstaffel) was a major paramilitary organisation under Hitler and the Nazi Party. They were tasked with the detection of actual or potential enemies of the Nazi state, the neutralisation of any opposition, policing the German people for their commitment to Nazi ideology, and providing domestic and foreign intelligence. The SS was the organisation mostly responsible for the genocide of an estimated 5.5-6 million Jews during the holocaust.
The Waffen-SS was the combat branch of the Schutzstaffel and combined combat and policing functions. The chief of the SS was Heinrich Himmler and like the SS, he did not make it past May 1945 (suicide by cyanide.)
