Changes the portraits of German army and navy leaders to versions without Nazi symbols. For the army, the Nazi eagle on the cap has been replaced by the roundel of one of the German states, while those on the jackets have simply been removed. For the navy, it has been replaced by the German imperial crown.

I decided to keep the imperial roundel (black-silver-red) on the lower part of the cap, which is different than how it was on the First World War uniform of Germany, where the roundel of the applicable German state is on the lower part and the imperial roundel on the upper part. This is because I wanted to keep the oak leaves around the imperial roundel, and it seemed to me that the roundel with the oak leaves around them should be the most important one (so the imperial one).

As such, these aren't First World War German uniforms, but rather possible uniforms for a German Empire in the 30's and 40's (in other words: Kaiserreich).

It's also justifiable looking at some of the peaked caps of the Reichswehr (the army of Weimar Germany), which have the German coat of arms between oak leaves on the lower part of the caps and the state emblem on the upper part.

Please note: the files this mod replaces are used only by the Kaiserreich mod, so it probably won't work with the base game.

Edited army portraits (with the state of the used roundel, if applicable):

Albert Kesselring - Bavaria
Eduard Dietl
Erich Hoepner - Prussia
Erich von Manstein - Prussia
Erwin Rommel - Württemberg
Ewald von Kleist - Prussia
Fritz Bayerlein
Georg von Küchler - Hessen
Gerd von Rundstedt
Heinz Guderian - Prussia
Walter Model - Prussia

Have to inquire, but are you going to do some Portraits for German East Asian and German Middle Africa? Simpe things, like the Colonial uniforms for a Generic officer portrait, as worn by Hermann Dresner in East Asia, along with his Slouch hat. It's a big ask, but somthing I and I think others would be thrilled to see, as recruiting more officers often leaves me with portraits that really don't match the setting, such as German Officers in standard wehrmacht wear in a Jungle Setting. By the way, thanks so much for this one too, really helps immersion to not see German WW2 Eagles when the Kaiser is still very much alive and France is ranting about how they'll get Alsace back.
