Very nice aluminium Panzer Ersatz Abteilung 11 related dog tag in used, but excellent condition.
The tag or 'Erkennungsmarke' shows overall signs of wear. It belonged to a soldier who served within the Stammkompanie Panzer Ersatz Abteilung 11. This abteilung was formed in late August 1939 in Paderborn. It trained and supplied soldier for Panzer Abteilung 65 and Panzer Regiments 9,11 and 27.
A Stammkompanie was a unit that trained the soldiers. Often the soldiers of this kompanie were soldiers who had frontline experience, but no longer were fully usable at the front due to injuries. Of course this changed later in the war as there was a shortage of (front)soldiers and where mobilized also.
The 'A' on both parts of the tag stands for the soldier's bloodype.
Nice example that is marked on both sides!
