Need help with ID tag...

[Victor L.]

Some months ago I found this ID tag near Libau (Kurland) in the place where a German front hospital was situated. There were several ID tags.....It looks like these tags were taken from those who died in hospital and after fixing all the papers were just thrown away. There were also a lot of Wound badges. There were no problems with other tags....but as for this tag I can't understand to which unit it belongs.

Hello

It is a dogtag from the Fla.MG Reserve Kompanie 114
Antiaircraft machinegun reserve coy 114


Best regards, Fronti

Thanks Fronti. I understand that it is Fliegerabwehr Maschinengewehr Reserve Kompanie 114, but I can't find it in Lexikon. It seems that this company is a part of some other and bigger unit....Abtailung, Regiment, Division.....I can't find that bigger unit a part of which was Fla.M.G.Res.K. 114.....

May be, may be......This broken ID tag was found in a bunker not far from the hospital. It seems that the owner of this tag survived.....he threw away his ID tag on 9 th of may 1945.

Hi Peter.
You know this place......It's a base camp of Werfer Regiment 70. That bunker was dug out by some other diggers, but some 20% were left for us. Now other parts of this ID tag I'm searching among Latvian diggers. It's great idea to collect all pieces.... One more ID tag from that bunker......It seems, that these guys from Luftwaffe helped this W.R.70 with air defense.
Best regards from all....
Victor.

Thanks a lot, Fronti.

Flak Division 6 were dislocated around Libau. It was the main sea port of Army group "Kurland" and russians tried to bomb it practically every day, if the weather allowed it. I have one more ID tag from anti aircraft unit from the same place........but from another bunker

Best regards,
Victor.

Ups...I forgot to ask about (v).

[Gerdan]

(v) means "verlegbar" - it was a unit which could be moved not fixed in one place.
