Very nice zinc Wehrmacht Artillerie related tag in used, but very good condition.
The tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows overall signs of wear. It belonged to a soldier who served or was drafted in the 3.Stammbatterie leichte Artillerie Ersatz Abteilung 9. This unit was formed in August 1939 in Siegen. It trained and supplied soldiers for Artillerie Abteilung 669 and for 12 different Artillerie Regiments.
A Stammbatterie was the batterie that trained the soldiers. Often the soldiers of this batterie were soldier who had frontline experience and/or were no longer fully usable on the front due to injuries. Of course this changed later in the war and they where also put into action as there was a shortage of (front)soldiers .
The 'A' on both parts of the tag stands for the soldier's bloodtype.
