Minifigure – Adolf Hitler in his formal uniform as the Head of State (Führer) of Germany (LEGO Compatible)

This image shows a toy minifigure representing Adolf Hitler in his formal uniform as the Head of State (Führer) of Germany, an attire he wore from the mid-1930s through World War II.

The figure is dressed in the official grey state service uniform. This consists of a grey, double-breasted tunic with pockets, worn over a white collared shirt and a black tie.

His headwear is a grey peaked visor cap (Schirmmütze). This style of cap, with its high front peak, red-brown cap band, and insignia (represented here in a simplified form), was specifically part of his uniform as the leader of the German state and supreme commander of the armed forces. As with other figures from this series,

Historical Background: Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) was the dictator of Germany and leader of the Nazi Party from 1933 to 1945. After consolidating power, he largely abandoned civilian clothes for uniforms. This grey state uniform was his standard formal attire for most of his rule and was worn during major political rallies, state visits, and formal occasions. It is one of the most recognizable, and infamous, appearances of any 20th-century political leader.
