I could be waaaay off base here so you have to correct me if I´m wrong.
I believe that some Wirbelwind´s were used as anti aircraft guns (saw it in a dio once a long time ago). So maybe it is a Luftwaffe officer in case you would like to use the gun in that type of setting.
Maybe...

Good to see I still remember this stuff even though it is close to ten years since I built a plastic kit (I do architectural models these days).

It sounds like you are decribing an overseas hat. Here is the officers version. Officers has the silver lining on the hat where enlisted doesn't/
