Re: EKM Unit Identities
Chris,
did You meant dog-tags (EKM = Erkennungsmarke)? And if: As far as i know the German dog-tags weared individual digits, such as date of entry to military duty etc. with no specific troop codes. Due to avoid mistakings - i believe - because of common troop-transfers/-changings to happen, there was no special unit-code applied on them. If i am wrong at all or misunderstanding Your entry: Sorry! y/f Norbert

Re: EKM Unit Identities
62720 V.KG2
58215 II.KG51 + some others Dont be sure that these EKM WERE attributed to units in 1944, so personel scattered a bit everywhere from their unit of origin, anyway they hv to do with the Me410 Rémi |

Re: EKM Unit Identities
Thanks Remi. The former belonged to a pilot from 6/KG 51 and the latter from a Bf from same unit so things match-I was hoping there was a link to an earlier unit.
Norbert: Yes these are what we call the sevice number on dog tags (mine is 8027507T!). However, you can work out initial units from the first set of digits Chris |

Re: EKM Unit Identities
Chris,
thank You for clearifying. So one can read out the start unit of a dog-tag by entry to military service, but no further/later belongings to other units when changing - right? Best Regards Norbert

58215 - 6./KG 2 and in 1944 12./JG 77 Matti |
