Soldbuch with French POW tag

[erichcraciun]

Here is the Soldbuch to Schützen Neubauer.

He was with the Schläterei-Abteilung 202 (attached to what division???) and Landschützen Btl. 907.

He was taken prisoner on the Westfront and was then in French captivity.

Does anyone know specifically what the Depot tag is for?

Soldbuch Neubauer

Hello Erich,

According to Tessin:

Schlächterei-Abt. 202 Sommer 1941 aus der Schlächterei-Kp. 202 mit 1.-2. Fleischverwertungs-Kp. und Schlächterei-Betr. Kp. Winter 1943/1944 aufgelöst
Heerestrupe.

Landesschützen-Btl. 907 1940 im Westen durch Umbenennung des Ldschtz. Btls. VII./XVIII und der Kpn. 17, 25, 26 und 28./XVIII, 1944 in Frankreich vernichtet und aufgelöst.
1940 Mil. Befh. Frankreich bei Sedan, 1941 Poitiers, Bordeaux, 1943 Rennes

I hope that these information will be able to be useful for you.

The tag indicates the deposit for war prisoner (PG = Prisonnier de Guerre) n° 161. It is probably about a tag used for the classification.

Cordial greetings.

Polux

Hello
IMO, the tag would be read as follows :
"Dépot des P.G. n°161 " = POW center 161
"N° Mle" means "Numéro de Matricule" = roll number (supposedly assigned to this soldier)
At least, we can think that he was not a POW for a long time !
Hope this helps
Regards
Denis

Gentlemen,

thank you very much for the information. I think the tag is interesting in that I have never seen such an item before.

Best regards,

Erich Craciun
