Hello everyone,
I am watching a show about Hitler on the military channel, and they just showed a video of Hitler at a parade early in his leadership of the NSDAP. The officer next to him was wearing a feldgrau uniform with a colonial type cap similar to the one in the first photo of the following link. My question is whether or not this was an Inter-War era cap or not? I know that Germany lost all of its colonies, so would it simply be a former colonial officer who still wanted to wear the cap?

Re: Inter-War Colonial Cap
Hi
Some colonial veterans continued to wear their caps,uniforms for displays,parades,ceremonies etc.
Some photos were posted of Kolonial parades in the 1930s here( http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=56491 ) but the photo links appear to be now broken.
From the Bundesarchiv,Lettow-Vorbeck in 1935.
