Stalingrad: digging near Gorodisсhe & Gumrak

[Sebastien]

a few hours ago I'm back...

battle field near the city


the phone. Encryption through the names

[Sebastien]

I was back from the battlefield, near the town.

Today I found my first "pass on the plane" (tag from air boxes)




also I found a key tag from communication car (Fu)

Like the box tags Andrey!

I have around 25 of these bought in a single lot from Poland years ago, it always made me smile when people would insist these were tags used to identify the severity of wounds for patients under transportation. I remember there was a guy on US Ebay trying to get $280 apiece for these (I paid around $5 each for mine)

[Sebastien]

Today was a good evening ....
we were close to Gorodisсhe and found little hole

I like the cargo tags! For years it was said they were fake because people called them "escape from stalingrad passes" but they have a more simpler role.

Yes, shape and colour was supposed to indicate the wound severity in order to provide passage out of Stalingrad. Unfortunately the story wasn't true and many who'd paid highly for such tags were reluctant to believe they'd purchased simple freight tags.
