Hauptmann Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Hello !What can anyone tell me about this disc ?Many thanks in advancegiorgioHi Giorgio,I can't put this in concrete... hopefully one of the other members can confirm it. But I believe this is an ID tag of the type issued to POW's in a German prison camp. They'd be assigned a number such as you see on the tag. Like other German "dog tags" they'd be broken in half if the POW died, half was kept for graves registration and the other was left with the body so they'd be able to keep track of who was who. As far as I know it was kept with the body when buried for future identification should that ever have been needed.Dan

Hauptmann Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Hi DanMany thanks . I received this ID tag from a fiend . Is it interesting for anybody ?best regardsgiorgioHi Giorgio,Glad I could help. As for interest, I would be... if it was from Stalag 13! And yes folks, there was a real Stalag 13. I just missed a document from that stalag about ten years ago on Ebay. Do wish I'd managed to get it as I've always been a tremendous fan of Hogan's Heroes.Just out of curiosity, what would you be asking for it? Dan

Was actually in some ways the inspiration for Hogan's Heroes. I too have absolutely no idea what they're worth. Let me see if I can do some digging and get back with you. Right now I'm struggling with a bad stomach flu that hit me last night/early this morning. I've been sleeping most of the day and have only been able to have a few sips of water and now a few of gatorade. Feeling lousy so need to get off of here for now. But will check in again as soon as I can.Mucho thanks! Dan Edited January 7, 2007 by Hauptman
