Details

The tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows overall signs of wear. It belonged to a soldier who was drafted in the 4.M.G. Ersatz Kompanie Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 396. This bataillon was formed in August 1939 and trained and supplie soldiers for Infanterie Regiment 396 which was part of the 216.Infanterie-Division. This division was active on the eastern front. It fought in areas like Brjansk, Rshew, Orel and Gomel.

In March 1945 the ersatz bataillon came into action as part of Grenadier Ersatz Regiment 571 (Division Nr.466) and moved to the Western front to the Bocholt-Dorsten area (near the Dutch border) and fought against the British. In late March 1945 it moved back east to Driburg.
The 'A' on both parts of the tag stands for the soldier's bloodtype.
