The boatswain’s cap of the Kriegsmarine from 1939 was part of the uniform worn by non-commissioned officers of the German navy. The Kriegsmarine was a branch of the Wehrmacht, established in 1935, and played an important role during World War II, especially in operations on the Atlantic. Its duties included naval warfare, particularly submarine (U-boat) operations targeting Allied convoys. The cap was characterized by its dark navy-blue color and simple, functional design suited to maritime conditions. On the front, it featured an emblem with an eagle holding a swastika, a state symbol of Nazi Germany, and the cap itself indicated membership in the navy and military hierarchy.

The hat is made of dark wool.
