Nice worn dog tag from a soldier who served in the Stamm Kompanie Grenadier Ersatz Bataillon 488.
The dog tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows normal signs of wear. The Infanterie Ersatz Bataillon 488 was formed in the summer of 1939 and supplied soldiers for 268.Infanterie-Division. In November 1942 the bataillon was renamed in to Grenadier Ersatz Bataillon 488 and was stationed in Northen Ukrain. The 'A' on the tag stands for the bloodtype of the soldier.
A Stammkompanie was a kompanie that trained the soldiers. Often the soldier of this kompanie were soldiers who had frontline experience and/or were no longer fully usable at the front due to injuries. Of course this changed later in the war as there was a shortage of soldiers).
