Under the Red Star is a site devoted to both casual and advanced collectors of Soviet militaria. At www.underttheredstar.com you will find the most comprehensive listing and identification of Soviet visor caps of the 1945-1991 period to be found anywhere in the world. In addition to the hundreds of caps shown and described, you have the option of buying both visor caps and other USSR militia – as well as some East German and other Warsaw Pact items. More significantly, you will find described and offered for sale three books that expand on the website coverage. These are: “50 Years under the Red Star: the definitive guide to Soviet Soldier, Sailor and Airman caps from 1941 to 199” and “Uniform Caps of Soviet Security and Guard Services – the definitive guide to NKVD/MVD, KGB, Border Guard, Courts, Militia, VOKhR and Forestry Visor Caps of the Post-War Period.” A third book – “Uniform Visor Caps Markings of the USSR: a Compendium of Manufacturers’ Labels and Interior Stamps” – is also offered for those more serious about understanding the manufacturing history of their caps.
The owner – Randy Stewart – encourages any questions or comments about any wartime or post-war Soviet uniforms and will answer such enquiries/comments promptly. I encourage all military collectors and students of Soviet military or paramilitary forces to visit my website and see what it offers them.
