Germany: WW2 Dog Tag (Identity Plaque) of the
Oflag XVIII, numbered 1811.
The dog tag comes with the original photo of the
Belgian Officer PoW (it looks like a Captain) as it
was taken during his initial registration at the
camp. Please note the number 1811 both on the
photo and on the dog tag. Oflags (Offizierslager)
were PoW camps especially for officers.
The Oflag XVIII was located in the Austrian
province of Carinthia, near the city of Wolfsburg.
It opened in 1939 and the first prisoners were
Polish officers and later on, in 1940, Belgians and
French.
A large number of British and Commonwealth
officers were transferred to the camp after the
Battles of Greece and Crete in 1941.
The last prisoners were liberated by the British
8th Army in 1945.
