Help Identifying ID Discs

[DouglasDwight]

Hi. I'm a total babe in the woods when it comes to ID discs. Seems to be a wild and crazy area.

Can anyone help me understand more about these 2 examples that I've had for many years?

Thanks in advance, gents. Any good reference books on the subject??

Chef also stands for Cook( luftwaffe cook possibly)? Nice dog tag!

[Gerdan]

I don't see any reasen that the "Chef der Luftwehr" should be related with a Luftwaffe cook.

On top of his position was a General and since 1938 this was a hight function in the Reichsluftfahrtministerium.

Generaloberst Günther Rüdel had this position for some time (since 1 Febr 1938), later Generaloberst Hans-Jürgen Stumpff (KC)

Hello

Thats not right.

In german chef means only "boss".

The english word chef can be translatet to the german word Koch (cook), but.... this dogtag doesn`t contain english words.
The german chef isn`t a cook., it is a "boss"

Thanks for the info so far, Gents. So on the first ID posted, what are you saying this is for, or to whom did this tag belong? There is no way that it could be a generals, I don't think.

[Gerdan]

The general was only the chief of this department/0rganization. This was a branch in the Reichsluftfahrtministerium with a lot of staff/members. As you see there is the number 953 on the ID Disc.

In this case is could be a cook...
...or a Driver, or a clerk, or something else... but could be a high ranking officer, too.

A cook of air defense! That's a very best interpretation of tag I have recently heard

Hello

The "Chef der Luftwehr" was a department and in this department theyx had cooks and drivers as well !

Best regards, Fronti

[mr.dogtag]

I know. But if he was a cook than perhaps a military one. There is no letter A in front of the Stammrolle so I assume the owner of the tag was a soldier.

Hallo

Yes, of sure, a soldier cook ! (But maybe a driver or something else)

OK. So what I'm taking away so far, is that the "Chef der Luftwehr" was a department, with many different positions in that department. But what does the number "953" relate to?

[Gerdan]

The persons/individuals belonging to this department had their own tag and these tags had different numbers just to identify the different tags (owners) from each other.

So one of the soldiers/officers (cook, driver, general, clerk...) had a tag with the number 953.
So works the system "dog tag".
