on the abbreviations of these 2 discs

**don_kihotis7** · 11-02-2011, 01:17 PM

Hello guys i have a German friend here and he gave me a few belongings of his father and uncle. His father was a driver of a general in the SS Hohenstaufen division and his uncle was the Reichsinnungsmeister of the Craftsmen's Guild for the Photographers.
His Grandfather was a veteran of the WWI but i don't know much details for him and his service.
I am mentioning all of the above in case they help to identify the regiment 11 disc and to explain the abbreviations on both ss and rgt. 11.

Here are the pics:

Hello Stacez and thanks for your reply. Does this mean that the non ss tag is a Luftwaffe one?

**Stacez** · 11-02-2011, 06:57 PM

You're welcome. Exactly - it's Luftwaffe dog tag.

**don_kihotis7** · 11-02-2011, 07:15 PM

Luftwaffe signals. Thanks again

Good discs to have with a history. I have a wehrpass with entries for LG N regt 12 & 13, so I should have spotted this when I looked at these earlier, DOH!!

SSVT disc has gotta to be a desirable example I assume.

Regards,

Jerry

My late Mother-in-Laws Luftwaffe records are gone apparently, but was given this info.....dog tag:- W45-111./ Educ.Dept. f. Ln. Help Lg. Nachr Rgt. 11......the use of English is confusing!! she told us she was at Lubeck so the records show that the 111 Abteilung was at St Hubertus 44/45. Trying to figure out what her id tag would look like as i have a friend who can replicate these perfectly. I'm going to do a display for poppy collecting and would like to have a id tag on her photo display.

SEK ist not Schützen but Sanitäts Ersatz Kompanie.

Hi Pervitin.

Are you sure about this, because I have never seen that abbreviation used in conjunction with any medical unit. Also I was under the impression that there were only 18 Sanitäts Ersatz Kompanies (later became Sanitäts Ersatz Abteilungen), so Sanitäts Ersatz Kompanie 126 would be impossible.

There is a Sanitäts Kompanie 126, but their troops would have come from one of these 18 Sanitäts Ersatz kompanies/Abteilungen. An example of an erkennungsmarke for a soldier trained by a Sanitäts unit would be San. Ers. Kp. 1 to 18 or San. Ers. Abt. 1 to 18.

Sanitäts Ersatz Abteilungen -
Gliederung Sanit?ts-Ersatz-Abteilungen - Lexikon der Wehrmacht

Sanitäts Kompanie 126

Kind regards,
