As most of us already know, the basic information included on a tag consists of a unit designation, a number, and occasionally a blood-type letter. A soldier was issued his tag by a company-sized unit, either when he was inducted or when his unit was mobilized at the beginning of the war.
Apparement c'est bien la compagnie puis le regiment (Théoriquement) avec des modifs pour les unités oragniques et la Luft.
Since the 1939-period rifle company contained about 175 men (the full-strength bicycle squadron in the ca. 1939 Aufkärungsabteilung contained 158), the tag numbers on these early tags should be lower than the strength of the unit at mobilization.
ex:
4.gem.Schtz.Kp.I.R.396
75
175 hommes dans une compagnie donc le numéro de matricule est evidemment en dessous de 175 sauf pour les unités Ersatz et autres organiques.
Wartime: New recruits were first enrolled in an Ersatz (replacement) unit and issued their tags within a few days of their induction, [...], they were standing in a line through which they were issued both their dogtags and their Soldbuchs.
Les soldats enrôlés durant la guerre était d'abord dans des Unités de réserve, où on leur distribuait Soldbuch et dogtag.
One point that should be obvious by now, after seeing how the tags were independently numbered,
On constate qu'il y a donc des différences de numérotations parfois au sein d'une même unité.
