Title |
German WW2 'dog-tag', or 'Erkennungsmarke' |
||
Description |
English: Upper half of a German second world war dog tag. The tag is flat, crescentric and has two holes at the curved edge. There are two tabs of metal protruding from the straight edge, which originally would have attached to the opposing crescentric side. One surface of the tag is stamped with the owners details. It reads "Stamm komp J.E.B. 348". Stamped on the line below is the letter "O" indicating the soldiers bloodgroup, and the number "16", indicating his role number. In full the first line reads: "Stammkompanie Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon 348". The metal content of the tag looks like pewter or lead, but is more likely to be some kind of zinc alloy. The upper part of the dog tag, or "erkennungsmarke" (literally ~ indentity tag) was normally buried with the soldier, whilst the lower was sent back to the records office. An image of the tag was sent to the Deutsche Deinststelle, who wrote back to say that the wearer of the Erkennunsmarke reappeared in Germany in 1956, proving that despite being the upper portion, the tag was not part of a burial. The tag was found near the old POW camp at Wellingore, Lincolnshire, where the owner was presumably located immediately after the war. Another German identity tag and an infantry badge were also found in the same area and are recorded on the PAS database as <a href="http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_obj.php?type=finds&id=203515"target="_blank">LIN-75CDB6</a>, and <a href="http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_obj.php?type=finds&id=001435CE9D30168F"target="_blank">LIN-CE8D25</a>. In 2009 a fragment of the lower half of this tag was discovered. The fragment is recorded as LIN-5479D4. |
