4e Kompanie Ersatz Bataillon Infanterie 72

[borodinenko]

Hello, just to share this erkennungsmarke of the 4e Kompanie Ersatz Bataillon Infanterie 72, that was part of the 46 infanterie division

[Frontalschaden]

Hello


For sure, an original dogtag, but Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 72 was not (!) part of the 46. Infanterie Division.


Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 72 was part of the Division 193, which was part of the Ersatzheer ("replacement-army") in contradistinction to the 46. Infanterie Division, which was part of the Feldheer. ("Field-army")


Best regards, Fronti

Hello, you are right, i found this: " Das Bataillon selbst unterstand der Division 193 und stellte den Ersatz für die 46. Infanterie-Division", which means once translated the battalion 72 was part of Division 193, to serve as replacement for division 46.

Ok, how does it happened? is that the entire battalion replaced one of these units, or is that Each one of these units levied men in the battalion 72?

Hello


Each unit from this list gets personal from the Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 72.
The units have to report how many soldiers are KIA and than they got the same number of persons from the replacement unit.
