A demand that all Jews in the Reich, in addition to wearing yellow patches on their clothing, should be compelled to wear a derby, is made in the “Schwartze Korps,” organ of the Gestapo.

The Gestapo paper claims that the Jews in Germany are becoming more and more adept at “disguising themselves “as German workers. It insists that the Jews be forced to wear the derbies so that they can be readily recognized as Jews from all angles.
