A Numbered 02097 Stalag 333 Beniaminow POW Identification Disc

This is a broken-off ID tag belonging to one of the Soviet Prisoners of War of the Stalag 333 Beniaminow. It is constructed of zink, with two holes, one on each side, and is numbered 02097. The reverse is left blank. The second half of the ID is missing, suggesting that the POW to which this tag belonged to perished during the war. Measuring 61 mm x 20 mm; very fine condition; possibly ground found.

Footnote: During the Second War, the Germans took over the village of Neniaminow and turned it into a Prisoner of War camp (Stalag 333). It housed Soviet soldiers between 1941 and 1944, claiming 30,000 Soviet lives due to harsh treatment and malnutrition.
