Very nice and rare original Schirmmütze for an Aufsicht or Platform Chef of the Reichsbahn. On the inside is the maker M. Drechsler, Mützenfabrik, Munich, Dachauer Str.26. Reichsbahn-Kleiderkasse Munich.

The (original) eagle on the cap may have been added to the cap later, but this is not visible. Nevertheless, a very nice and extremely difficult to obtain cap in excellent condition.

The Reichsbahn was responsible for the management and operation of the railway system and played a crucial role in transporting troops, goods and civilians during World War II. The railways were strategically important for the mobilization of troops and equipment, as well as for the logistical support of the war effort. During the war, railways were also used to transport prisoners to concentration camps. The Reichsbahn was used as an important instrument for economic planning and control, and it was closely involved in the implementation of National Socialist policies in transportation and mobilization.
