The dog tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows normal signs of wear. It belonged to a soldier who served in Stammkompanie Grenadier Ersatz Bataillon 453. The abteilung was formed in the summer of 1939 and supplied/trained soldiers for the 253.Infanterie-Division.
The bataillon itself was mobilized in September 1944 during the Walküre Aufruf, renamed as Reserve Grenadier Bataillon 453 and became part of the 246.Infanterie-Division which lasted till Oktober of that year. The 'AB' on both parts stands for the blood type 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).
