What I could never understand was why 'Steiner', in Cross of Iron wears the usual apparell of that of a soldier in the German Gebirgsjager troops? The jacket in particular and the forage cap, yet there is no insignia on it? He is not part of any specialised formation so why is it he is dressed irregular to the rest of his comrades?
Because in real life ****tier than ****- like hellhole soldiers rarely give two ****s about being in parade conditions or getting hands on anything they can get within reason? Looting eguipment from dead soldiers wasn't exactly uncommon back then, even more so considering how thrifty the germans were to begin with.
Also there's insignia on the cap if you look carefully, even beter if you watch out the movie live or find some screencaps
