Hi
I need some help. We have found 3 Grabmeldeplakette at Silkeborg Bad here in Denmark and I can't find any info on Google.
Can anyone of you help with further info on use, who had them, and is there any possible chance to find out who WGO 95 was? (WGO=Wehrmachtgräber-Offizier).
Enclosed photos are only samples from the net!
Dan.

Apparently a registration mark for graves
"outside" normal graveyards and/or not
possible to move at the time.

Hi Waleed
Thanks but -Been there - done that, no luck. it does not give the info we need to explain why the Grabmeldeplakette were found were they were found, as there are no graves there. Was it lost by the WGO, has they been used (If so the numbers must be in some archives, but were to search?) and was the WGO 95 connected to German HQ at Silkeborg Bad or the later German refugee camp there?

Re: Grabmeldeplakette?
http://forum.panzer-archiv.de/viewtopic.php?t=9466Die Stabsoffiziere für das Wehrmachtverlustwesen, vor allem die in ihren Bereichen tätigen Truppengräberoffiziere, hatten darauf zu achten, dass jedes Grab zunächst einmal mit einer runden Aluminiummarke gekennzeichnet war. Die oberer Zahl auf diesen Marken war die Nummer des jeweiligen Wehrmachtgräberoffiziers, während die untere Zahl der laufenden Nummer entsprach, unter der die Personalien des Toten in der Kartei des WGO's eingetragen war. Bei Sammel- und Kameradengräbern war für jeden Toten eine solche Marke anzubringen.
You've probably already been there but I think this explains what they are and maybe where to look for more.
Who number 95 is I can't say.
