Luftwaffe Dogtag Regiment 320?

#1

Post by RobinH » 12 May 2014, 08:30

I am not used to reading German dogtags, but I have one that is marked as follows:

116
8. Sch. Kp. L.w. R. 320

My poor skills see this as: man # 116 of the eighth schutzen company Luftwaffe Regiment 320

Can this be right? I do not seem to find info on ground Luftwaffe units of that Regiment number.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you attach some sort of photo so we can see it? You're absolutely right about 8. Schutzen company. As far as the L.w. R. 320 goes, what makes you believe this Luftwaffe? I do know that LwR is an acronym Germany used for "Landwirtschaftsrat" which was basically an Agricultural Counselor or Head of Supply Department..basically a rank. Please submit a photo and I'll continue researching this topic.
