DUTCH TN • TeNo [ the Technische Noodhulp ] Side CapMarc Verstraete Van der Weyer posted a very, very special Dutch TN Side Cap:
http://www.wehrmacht-awards.co...ghlight=teno&page=13This is an extremely rare item, as a Dutch TN Side Cap is an almost 'never seen' TeNo item. The Dutch TN was comprised of only about 4,500 Noodhelpers – so any surviving items are a treasure. Marc's example helps to solve some unanswered questions about the headgear of the Dutch TN.

http://stirnpanzer.com/forum/viewtop...=teno&start=40A number of Dutch collectors have added their varied Dutch TN items, but a confirmation of the front ‘Emblem’ of the Side Cap was missing – until now! Winkelman posted a ‘screen capture’ of a foto from a WWII history program, shown on Dutch TV. [as is attached below] The front ‘Emblem’ of the Dutch TN - Technische Noodhulp Side Cap could be seen as a “Square” – & - Not as the Rhomboid [Diamond] shape of the German TN, with the Black-White-Red circles in it.
With seeing Marc's Side Cap, it solves the mystery & confirms the Dutch TN Side Cap emblem! The Dutch TN used the TeNo “Classic” ‘TN-in-Cog’ emblem motif – much like the emblem of their Armscheibe [Left sleeve patch]. Thanks to Marc for his Posting. ..Txs, Dave / dblmed
