Nice worn dog tag from a soldier who served in the (Heeres) Flugabwehr Ersatz Bataillon (motorisiert) 55.
The tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows overall signs of wear. The bataillon was formed in October 1939 in Karlsruhe out of the Ersatz-Kompanie für MG(s)55. It trained and supplied soldiers for Fla-Bataillon 55. This bataillon was put into action on the Western front in 1940 and was later put into action during the Russian campaign.
A Stammkompanie was a unit that trained the soldiers. Often the soldiers of this kompanie were soldiers who had frontline experience and/or where no longer fully usable on the front due to injuries. Of course this changed later in the war and they also where put into action as there was a shortage of (front)soldiers.
The 'B' on both parts of the tag stands for the soldier's bloodtype.
