Who can help introduce the soft hats of German officers in World War II? Thank you. Good points.

Do you mean this kind of "officers' field soft hat"?

This kind of military hat, commonly known as "officer's field hat", appeared at the end of 19th century. It was originally a simplification of ordinary wide-brimmed hat. At first, it was just a personal "hand-made"-just for wearing comfortably-and later it became a standard.

—— This picture shows the Bavarian Artillery Regiment in Germany during World War I, and the petty officer No.3 on the far right is wearing the "M191 type officer field cap", which is the first of its kind in World War II.

In World War II, the "old-fashioned officers' field hat" with a soft hat top was called "the hat with a crushed top"-describing that its top was crushed 5 times:

-Captain No.1 on the left wore the old-fashioned M1934 field soft hat with a corolla cap badge on it

-the captain of the first-class SS commando on the right No.3.

At that time, officers of the African Army Air Force also liked to wear this kind of comfortable and simple hat. They called it "Herman Meyer hat", which was related to Hermann G?ring, commander-in-chief of the German Air Force.

Goering once boasted that if an enemy bomber could penetrate deep into Germany, his name would be changed to "Meyer". I don't know if the soldiers of the African legion had foresight. They took Goering's remarks as a joke and named their hats after them. At the end of the war, the strength of the German air force was greatly weakened, and the Allied bombers entered Germany like nobody's business. Goering's remarks were even regarded as a laughing stock.

It is worth mentioning that US military officers also liked this kind of soft hat at that time, and they learned it after the mechanization of the national army:
