Head Coverings of the Jewish Feldrabbiner during World War I

In the past I wrote some articles about head coverings worn by religious dignitaries during their service in the army:

Portuguese Chaplain with Peaked Cap

Chaplains of the Federal Armed Forces

United States Air Force Airman Battle Uniform (ABU) Christian Chaplain's Caps

Képi and Helmet Worn by Priests during the War

A new book about Jewish army rabanim was published in 2013:

Hank, Sabine; Simon, Hermann; Hank, Uwe:

Feldrabbiner in den deutschen Streitkräften des Ersten Weltkrieges

Hentrich & Hentrich Publisher, Berlin 2013, 623 pages

ISBN 978-3-938485-76-7

The book is a very large end exhaustive elaboration about Jewish rabanim during World war I.

"Feldrabbiner" translated is rabanim working on the battlefields.

"Armeerabbiner" translated is rabanim working for the army.

I can highly recommend to purchase this wonderful book for your private library.

On the front of their peaked cap two cocades and a Star of David (between these 2 cocades) were fixed.
