Explore a unique piece of history with this authentic German dog tag belonging to a soldier from the 19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Latvian). This rare artifact offers a glimpse into the life of a soldier who served in one of the notable Latvian units during World War II.

The Panzerjäger Abteilung (Tank Hunter Battalion) associated with the Division was part of the broader structure of this division, which was active during World War II. This division was formed in January 1944 and was primarily composed of Latvian volunteers.

• Formation: The division was established from two existing SS infantry brigades and included a newly raised third regiment, the Waffen Grenadier Regiment 46 (Latvian No. 6).
• Leadership: Initially commanded by SS-Oberführer Hinrich Schuldt, the division saw several commanders throughout its existence, especially after Schuldt's death in March 1944.
• Engagements: The division participated in various battles on the Eastern Front and ultimately found itself encircled in the Courland Pocket towards the end of the war, where it surrendered to the Red Army in 1945.
