Infantry Regiment "Stettin"

Hi Folks:

I picked up a laundry tag with name on it but the unit listed is 1st Company of the Infantry Regiment Stettin. Is this a number Infantry Regiment or under which Corps or Army? Thanks,

It has its origins in the Reichswehr... http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...nter/IR5-R.htm

Thank you. I also picked up 13 ea. laundry tags for the same soldier who was in the 73rd "Grenz" Pioneer Battalion in a flea market in the Saar. Not sure what they did after the being on the Westwall......but I just thought they were nice.
