101 Pol. Bataillion

[darek]

Hello everyone!

Found this few years ago. Does number 20 mean that it was one of the first soldier in this formation? Also is there a way to identify soldier?

Although the roll number (20) is low this does not necessarily mean he was one of the first men in the unit. The Deutsches Dienstelle in Berlin might be able to identify the soldier, but unless you are a relative then it is not possible to get identity. If the tag had been found with remains then it may be possible as the Volksbundkriegsversorge would arrange collection of remains and burial.

Police Btl 101 was not military but were responsible for the resettlement of refugees in Lodz area. This broken fragment is evidence of part of the fascists instruments of terror. A chilling relic.
