Description: A chance to buy and own a Rare Dog Tag ( Erkennungsmarke ) for the Estonian Security Group 186 !!
I am selling some of the rare dog tags I have from certain units , this tag belonged to a soldier who served with the locally raised Estonian security Groups .

The Estonian security groups were predecessors to the Estonian Ost Btl whose lineage eventually took many of them into the Estonian SS Division ! These units were initially deployed on security roles , guarding railways / pow camps /fighting partisans in the area of Army Group North around Leningrad .
The tag was found at the Klooga training camp area just outside Tallinn where units of the 20^th Estonian Division der Waffen SS were trained. Estonian Ost Batallions were sent to the 20th Waffen SS division and many soldiers were issued with new Erkennungsmarken. These EKM-s belonged to Soldiers who were mostly in Russia from the year 1941 and were lucky enough to see their homeland again in 1944. Most of them took part in later terrible fightings on Narwa front from Feb-Dep[tember 1944 and many did not survive. These tags are rare because there were only around 4000 men in all Estonian Sich. Groups.
