The item is a German M43 Field Cap (Einheitsfeldmütze) accessory, which is designed for minifigures. This is a custom toy accessory modeled after the standard field cap used by German forces in World War II. This specific version features a green and brown camouflage pattern (resembling a woodland or “Oak Leaf” style print) distinct from the geometric “Splinter” pattern. Like the previous model, it is detailed with the Wehrmacht Eagle (Reichsadler) insignia above the national cockade on the front trapezoid, along with two silver buttons securing the ear flaps.
Background: The M43 Field Cap (Einheitsfeldmütze 43) was the most common combat headgear for the German Wehrmacht in the late stages of World War II. While the shape remained consistent, soldiers often utilized different camouflage fabrics available to them (such as from tent quarters or Zeltbahn) to make these caps. The insignia shown here (Eagle over Cockade) identifies this specific cap as belonging to the regular German Army (Heer), distinguishing it from the Waffen-SS versions which typically bore a skull on the front.
