Some really fantastic finds!

Thanks for your nice thoughts. In the 6th and 7th picture are: "colar shields for racial German (Volksdeutsch) units of the Slovakian army'' - quoted from Foreign legions of the Third Reich, vol 3, Slovak buttons and a Slovak cap badge.
Dog tags are Slovak but such dog tags were used by Austro-Hungarian army in ww1.
The parts from the plane are German, but I don't know what type the plane is.

Is this a dog Tag?

Sure looks a lot like the Soviet ones i have from 1939-1940 but mine are made from iron!

Cheers

Very interesting, I never knew that the "Volksdeutsche" wore any kind of special insignia! These must be pretty rare, or? Either way, great finds! Looks like a beautiful place with those mountain ranges and all as well.

Some interesting finds in a great location , what is the history of the fighting in the area ?
