White background behind the cap badge

What was the reason for putting a white piece of paper behind the cap badge? I have seen quite a lot of post-warpictures of soviet servicemen wearing white paper behind their cap badges - just like one of the guys on the picture attached has - they all were picturing soldiers during field activities, so maybe it had some meaning during the manouvers?
Anyone knows?
