    I am hoping this would be the best suited section, please move is a better suited section exists.

    Some of my Great- grandfathers photographs show RASC (not sure what COY, still waiting on service records) in what I am assuming are captured/ found Luftwaffe visor caps, with one driver getting into full character.
    Anyone know why/ how they would have come across these visor caps?

    thanks,
    Owen

    Probably a captured Q Store. The Officers had the wines & spirits , The Senior NCO's the Beer & Food. The drivers got the "silly hats"


    Here's an example.
    "Here we established ourselves close to a Jerry Q Stores, so it was just as well that we did no firing at all, for that would have interfered sadly with our investigation of German rations, wines, weapons and miscellaneous stores.
    Right in the midst of our looting, a stray Jerry 105mm (never located) dropped two rounds very close to our position and that was the only action we saw.........".
