Ultra rare half ID tag of a member of the infamous Einsatzgruppen, the mobile killing squads that killed hundreds of thousands of Jews and other civilians during their Aktions in the East. These killing unit squads carried out the most awful and horrible massacres killing women, children and elderly people as well as men. They were formed by ordinary Germans and also collaborators of the countries they carried out those massacres, and their modus operandi was to round up all the Jews, ordinary citizens and communists in the villages they arrived to, taking them to forests where after obliguing them to dig up their own graves, were shot in their heads or just machinegunned, falling their bodies to the ditches. This one, perfectly readable is a 100% genuine example of a half dog tag of one of those criminals that probably was killed in action and the other half was taken to the headquarters to identify him as a fallen soldier. It was ground dug in Russia. Condition is very good, solid and with all the text present. It reads Sicherheitspolizei Einsatz-Kdo 22643. Einsatzgruppen were named A,B,C and D, and each one was formed by some Einsatzkommandos. All were under the umbrella of the SD or Sicherheitsdienst of Heydrich, and this was at the same time a part of the SS apparatus.This is a very unique chance to get one of the only surviving evidences of the existence of those criminal units, since there's almost nothing left from them: it was secret and no photos of executions could be taken under death punishment and few other items survived since most of them were destroyed to erase any clue of the Einsatzgruppen.
