The NSKOV Visor Insignia refers to a specific emblem worn on the visors of caps by members of the Nationalsozialistische Kriegsopferversorgung (NSKOV), which translates to the National Socialist War Victim’s Care organization. Established in 1934, the NSKOV was a Nazi Party organization dedicated to providing support and assistance to veterans, war widows, and their families, particularly those who had suffered injuries or disabilities as a result of their service in World War I.
The visor insignia typically featured the organization’s logo, which consisted of a swastika surrounded by a laurel wreath, often accompanied by the initials “NSKOV” or the organization’s full name in German. This emblem served as a symbol of membership and affiliation with the NSKOV.
While the NSKOV initially focused on providing welfare services, it later became involved in more overtly political activities, aligning itself closely with Nazi ideology and promoting militarism and nationalism among its members. As such, the visor insignia also carried ideological significance, representing the wearer’s support for the Nazi regime and its policies regarding veterans and war victims.
