I see HPO which doesn't stand for a unit that I am aware of. I've never seen a tag so faintly stamped that wasn't in a state of decay.
The "??" Looks like an "R"
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
"Don't tell me these are investments if you never intend to sell anything" (Quote: Wife)
I read this as two lines.
Top line is 255.
Bottom line is HP6 / 1R5 with the "0" being his blood type
I don't study these tags at all, nor German unit designations but could HP stand for some type of Hospital unit?
Fits in that he was a medic of some sorts
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Very hard to read indeed. Maybe you can rub some chalk in the stamping, it might help to read it.
And I don't think it says HPO or HP6, this wouldn't make sense.
I'm not 100% sure but I see this: II P 6./ I R 5
That would stand for II Bataillon, 6. Kompanie, Infanterie Regiment 5.
The weird thing is the P. Don't know if it is a P and why it is there, it messes the whole thing up for me.
I do agree with the rollnumber 255 and bloodtype O.
I'll wait for more photos and see if we can clear this one up for you.
Regards, Rik
