Hi Guys, I just picked up this little slice of history – an original “filled out” medical attachment tag, related to a Munich citizen who was injured during an allied air raid. Trouble with that claim by the seller is …
1) There was no allied raid on Munich in early July
2) The tag mentions “grenade shrapnel”

I wonder how he got injured then??

Anyway, to the tag itself….. the title is "Tag for injured"

( note how the edges are perforated to allow 1, 2 or no stripes showing )
Immediate transport - two red stripes
Not Urgent – one red stripe
Walking – no red stripe

The penciled entries on the front read as follows:

Name: Hans Weber
Wohnort (Residence ): Munich
Strasse (Street ): Schelling Street
Verletzung (Injury ): Grenade shrapnel on left thigh
Erhielt an starkwirkenden Arzneien (Received strong drugs ) Morphine 0.5 at 11:40 am

The entries on the reverse read:

Abbildung durch abschnürbinde oder dreieckstuch ( Tying by triangular cloth: ) at 11:40 am
Wo? ( Where? ): Hospital
Sonstige hilfeleistungen (Other assistance services ): Operation preparations
Name of doctor: Doctor Klaus
Issued on 4th July 1944

I’m sure my translation skills are lacking - please forgive me..:D

Nothing mind-blowing but just a nice bit of “collection candy” that amazes me that it has survived…..
Cheers, Dan
