Product Overview
WWI German Prussian Army M1907 FIELD GREY CAP Kratzchen
The M1907 Field Grey Cap, known as the "Kratzchen," was a distinctive cap worn by the German Prussian Army during World War I. Its design was a departure from the traditional pickelhaube (spiked helmet) and was more practical for field use.
The Kratzchen was a soft, foldable cap made from grey wool with a visor at the front. It had a flat crown and often featured a small, metal Prussian eagle or cockade on the front. Sometimes, soldiers would affix insignia or cockades specific to their regiment or unit.
It was a popular choice among soldiers due to its comfort and adaptability, especially in comparison to the more cumbersome pickelhaube. The Kratzchen was part of the standard uniform for many infantry units during the early stages of World War I.
