Very nice aluminium Flughafen-Betriebs kompanie related tag in used, but excellent condition.
The tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows overall normal signs of wear. It belonged to a soldier who served within the '5.Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie (Kampfgeschwader) 26'. A Betriebs kompanie is a unit that repairs and services planes and is attached to a Kampf/Jagdgeschwader.
This Betriebs-Kompanie 26 was part of the Kampfgeschwader 'Löwen' 26 which was formed in May 1939 from Kampfgeschwader 257. When you look at the tag we can see a number '5' peeking through the '6' and the number '7' still can be seen through the star stamp. This tells us that the soldier first served in the 5.Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie Kampfgeschwader 257.
Kampfgeschwader 26 participated in a lot of campaigns such as the invasion of Poland, Denmark, France, Britain, Balkans, Greece, Crete, Malta and more.
