A nice trio from Poltava area, Ukraine. For sure these were lost during the fight in 1943 by the inter alia 1st, 2nd or 3rd SS Pz. Divisions.

Sorry but I have to say it - that's rubbish. For me these are stereotypes. I've got a lot of the top halfs aswell as botton and you won't gonna tell me that all of them come from grave becouse dogtags broken in half are generally taken from dead bodies or graves.
My good friend found in past month more then 100 tags in small piece of ground. Many of them were broken into 2 or more parts. So all them or even just a little come from grave? Please..
I'll be honest I don't know circumstances of the situation in what the tags were extracted so I can't say much but for sure not every german WWII dogtag half come from same source.

Dog tags in Ukraine
My wife is Ukrainian. Once we were travelling by train from Kiev to Warsaw, Poland. On the border, border guard soldiers offered me German dogtags for sale. He said, that they found a wartime German military cemetery and they took those dags from the dead bodies. He said that openly, like nothing was wrong with it. I wasn't interested, but this is how they accuire a lot of the stuff they sell.
