Trivia
- A grenadier is a soldier who specializes in handling grenades and other explosives. Grenadiers were also a common rank in the German army in the Second World War and the Patrol Cap was common military headgear for Germany at that time.
- Also known as a field cap or patrol cap, it is usually worn by military personnel with work uniforms when a combat helmet is not required.
- These type caps are often worn under a modern helmet as to allow the combatant wearing it shade. This is a recent change for new helmets have the space for the brim and desert combat has created the need.
- An early concept of the hat, pictured in the gallery below, reveals that it was originally camouflaged and had an orange-and-black skull emblem attached to the front left side.
