These things have been around for a good few many years now. What they are Supposedly are grave marker tags for fallen enemy (officers?) that were buried by the Germans. Nailed on the coffin box lid, I imagine. I don't know if I quite accept them, but they are known to collectors for some time. For what it's worth, this tag looks to have some age to it and nothing bogus that I'm seeing on it. 4cm x 4cm, is it?

Reminds me of some paper notes we found attached to a door in an old building,it was put up by the germans when they occupied the building for their own use telling it was now WH property..Could this be something similar?

I tried just now doing a quick Google search for the term "Erfasst Durch Die Deutsche Wehrmacht". Several threads pop up about the grave marker theory. Otherwise, I have no clue. Personally, I wouldn't trust it, but who knows? I've seen stranger things before...
