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

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.

Leopold Rosenak is wearing a Südwester hat.
