White summer cap for Marine-HJ?

[Albrecht]

I've been wondering for a while if it existed the white sommermütze; It would have some sense as it was created the sidecap for MHJ in late war in marine blue with yellow-gold piping, but, it was created a white one for MHJ?

Yes, as you say, the MHJ got that new cap in 1944 but certainly according to the regulations etc that I have here there was never a sidecap in white produced specifically for the MHJ.

In May 1940 the MHJ were forbidden from wearing the white cover on the MHJ cap in summer due to worries about excessive soap consumption due to cleaning. In August 1942 the white covers were reintroduced but other than that I don't see anything about a new white cap.
