It was renamed in August 1942 to Flieger Regiment 51. Again renamed in June 1944 in Luftgau-Feld-Regiment Belgien-Nordfrankreich (mot. ) 51.
Untill September the regiment was stationed in Holland where it saw combat. The regiment was disbanned in September and absorbed in the 3.Fallschirmjäger-Division. This division and her units participated in the Ardennes offensive and in 1945 in the Remagen battles.
A new Flieger ausbildungs Regiment 51 was formed in Groningen in September 1944.
The 'A' on both parts of the tag stands for the soldier's bloodtype.
Interesting dog tag.
