Joe, I looked in Benders series on the Kriegsmarine and the acorn is in the same place as the Army. i laughed when you wrote torpedo but it does say "A 5cm long torpedo of 1 cm diameter cords intertwined blue and aluminum." Now that I would like to see. I think the hook is for attaching the top of the lanyard to the tunic. The Kriegsmarine uniforms don't have shoulder straps to hid the attachment button. I haven't looked at many Kriegsmarine uniform. Maybe at the next show.
