This was ground dug in western Poland. Mostlikely found with the bones of the deceased.
In regards to the badge, DANG IT. I WANTED TO WIN THAT ONE!!!! :D What was the other things that was auctioned with this badge?
Seems to be similar to the one I won that had the medal plate. It was the soldier's way of keeping the top heavy badge from rotating on his tunic.
DANG! I wanted to win that auction as well.:) I didn't.:( I wanted tank emblem that was with that. There was also a hanger for 2 medals, but possibly non-soviet if my memory serves me well.
But I got this badge from the buyer :)(a bit complicated matter).
This badge was not attached to any uniform - there's no trace of cloth between the paper and the badge, just some earth.
