    Unit ID please

    Hello there,

    If anyone could help identify this, on a dog tag found in Normandy, I'd be grateful:

    20.ERG.LG.N.R.8

    Many thanks,

    Sean

    20.ERG(?). LuftGau.NachtrichtenRgt.8

      Polynike is correct, it just needs a little pimping:

      20.(Erganzungs-)/Luftgau-Nachrichten-Rgt. 8.

      It was a signals reserve training company set up in 1940 in Oppeln-Birkenthal in Silesia and was know to still be there in mid-1942. There is no record of it ever being deployed and it had no Feldpostnummer. It is best thought of as a pool of Luftwaffe signals personnel engaged in continuous training until they received an assignment to a signals unit in the the field and were posted out.
