forse ho trovato cosa sono questi oggetti ne esistono di un'altro tipo a rombo e di colori differenti in pratica erano gettoni che servivano come permessi di volo per feriti o malati contagiosi distinguendo le categorie di gravita' dal colore e forma ecco il perche' di ritrovamenti frequenti di questi oggetti nei campi di volo
comunque questa è la spiegazione che ho trovato da un venditore
Red Round Permit to Fly out of the Stalingrad Pocket. Item 100% original. Item 100% original. It was found at Gumrak (one of the two major German airbases in the Stalingrad area) near by city Stalingrad (Volgograd now), in Russia. This place is the most great battlefield at WWII period during August 21, 1942 – February 2, 1943!
This permits to leave the besieged 6th German Army by means of airplane. Were issued only to hard wounded soldiers, and also in special cases of subordinates to approval of the high command. Directly general Paulus personally. Deserters who tried to leave Stalingrad without such permits to fly, have been subordinated to retaliatory measures from Field Gendarmerie after a landing. Obviously the owner of this tag has not had time to take advantage of it, as military air base Gumrak has been grasped by the Soviet armie.
There were two types of such permits - the first in the form of a rhombus, the second was round, such as you see on a photo. Made from steel. Because of time lead to the ground, the exhibit has a little rusted, but still in a good condition, with a lot of an original red paint on both sides. Stalingrad permits were painted in different colors: red – for wounded, white - for the other reasons (For example evacuation of the valuable military staff), yellow (round) - give out in case of heavy illness (Especially Rare!). Size of tag – 40mm.
