Qualcuno sa se i berretti con la stella disegnata sulla testa hanno un significato politico o religioso? La foto è di tedeschi. Sono immigrati in Brasile e uno di loro è il mio bisnonno. Grazie.

White berets featuring a large, six-pointed Star of David were worn by Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany arriving on steamships in Brazil during the 1930s and 1940s.
This headwear served as a powerful symbol of national pride and triumph, directly contrasting their voluntary adoption of the Star as a symbol of life with the forced wearing of the Yellow Badge in the Third Reich. It was a visual act of liberation and a declaration of identity after escaping anti-Semitic persecution.
In several archives dedicated to the history of Jewish migration, there are photographs of the arriving refugees where the Star of David on their headgear is clearly visible as a symbol of solidarity and triumph upon entering the country

Don’t quote me on this, but I’ve seen similar caps worn by pietists from south-western Germany. From what I understand these would have borne varying emblems (possibly representing their particular group or ‘sect’) and been worn for travel and/or group photos, so it could fit the scenario

Just as a side note: these don’t look like berets, but flat caps (“Schiebermütze”), much like what the man on the RHS is wearing.
