Very nice zinc Wehrmacht Schützen related tag in used, but very good condition.
The tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows overall normal signs of wear. It belonged to a soldier who was drafted in the 4.Kompanie Schützen Ersatz Bataillon (motorisiert) 46. This bataillon was formed in late August 1939 as Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 46. It trained and supplied soldiers for Infanterie Regiment 46 which was part of the 30.Infanterie-Division. This division saw combat during the invasion of Belgium and France. From June 1941 on it fought on the eastern front in areas like Ilmensee, Demjansk, Staraja Russa and Kurland.
The ersatz bataillon was renemad into Schützen Ersatz Bataillon 46 in October 1941 and renamed again to Infanterie in April 1942.
The 'A' on both parts of the tag stands for the soldier's bloodtype.
