    Need help with ID tag.....3

    Hi to all, I'm back!
    And I have a new question......This ID tag was found in Kurland near Libau. What is your opinion about the unit or what it could be.....I found that there was Gren. Reg., Brucken Bau Btl. and Ostkommandantur with the same number. Or it means something else?

    Good Question.
    I have several halfs that have numbers put on the back in this fashion.
    All were dug from PoW concentration areas in the East.
    German unit markings on the front and numbers inscribed like yours on the back.

      Perhaps PoW markings.

        240stevek, thanks a lot for your opinion....It's quite possible, sometimes we find in this area ID tags with signs like HIWI, FRW or (K). Most of them also were former POW's.

          Thankyou Victor.
          I believe the numbers on the back of my tags were put on while they were prisoners of the Russians.

            I didn't understand at once that these tags you were talking about were from Russian camps for Germans. This ID tag has no markings on the reverse side and there were no PoW camps nearby, there were German rear positions there. Thanks a lot again for your opinion. We'll think about that further.
