Re: Trading of Erkennungsmarke....

Hi Ed,

I've read the article too and the author tells us that the
"Deutsche Dienststelle" in Berlin - in the 1940s known as
"Wehrmachtsauskunftstelle" - is watching all offers of dog tags
at ebay. I some cases ebay deleted some auctions. But mostly
the auctions end in the normal way. Ebay is not very cooperative.

It is an interesting question, the author is asking:
What is the price of a human fate? Some tags were sold for
20 USD or less...

I don't know if the officials in Germany know something about the
"Stammkarten" Andreas told us about but it may be very interesting
to ask them. Maybe we should post them to Berlin?

Sven.
