Bought it in 1991 in Berlin. Is it an officer’s cap? What do the golden stars represent?

I posted this elsewhere and some people said it was a tanker jacket and some said an old school flight jacket, any insight will help!

One of my prized possessions

Been colle ting since November of 2022, this is how large my uniform collection has gotten.

i am thinking about buying a gp5-gas mask from epicmilitaria.com and was wondering if any of you know how much it would cost to ship it to western sweden?

I was searching through a surplus website and found an oil burner insert for the M-1941 tent stove. Brand new in cosmoline for $40. I was curious if it would fit an H-45 tent stove. I was looking at photos between the two stoves and I think the base of the M-1941 is too shallow. I then considered if the top of the H-45 is the same or similar enough to the M-1941 to just swap out the bases. I have an H-45 stove with a solid fuel (wood) insert. I would love to have the ability to swap out the base to use as an oil burner.

If anyone is wondering. I have my tent stove as a shop stove and I don’t get a lot of trees around where I live. I plan to break down pallets from work but that’s not my first choice. So wood isn’t my primary heat source. Diesel is my primary source but isn’t cheap. Kerosene is a joke because of how expensive it is. I’m in the process of saving up money for a Jerry can to collect jet fuel from work that is purged for maintenance. Once it leaves the aircraft, it can’t be be put back into the aircraft because it has the potential for contamination. So it becomes waste. Some people pour it into our ground vehicles but I’d like some to heat my shop.

This is a sew on patch, not iron on. Google image search came up with nothing like it when i put this photo in it.
