Custom Piece Miniature – German Elite M43 Field Cap / Einheitsfeldmütze (Autumn Camouflage) – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

The item is a German Elite M43 Field Cap (Autumn Camouflage) accessory, designed for minifigures.

German Elite M43 Field Cap / Einheitsfeldmütze (Autumn Camouflage) This is a custom molded and printed headgear accessory featuring the iconic M43 “Ski Cap” shape with a stiff visor. The cap is covered in a distinctive Autumn Camouflage pattern, characterized by a mix of rusty orange, dark brown, and black splotches. Like the green version, the front displays two prominent white insignias: the Eagle (Reichsadler) at the top and the Death’s Head (Totenkopf) skull emblem below it.

Background: This accessory represents the Autumn/Winter side of the reversible camouflage uniforms used by the Waffen-SS (Elite Combat Forces) during World War II. Soldiers would switch their gear to this orange-brown pattern during the fall and winter months to blend in with dead leaves and dormant vegetation. The presence of the Totenkopf skull specifically marks this as a piece for elite units, distinguishing it from standard army caps. In a LEGO diorama, this is the perfect headgear for a soldier fighting in the Battle of the Bulge or the defense of Germany in late 1944 and 1945.
