Rare Erkennungsmarke Stabsb. N./V.A.K. 410 reading Stabsbatterie N. Volks-Artillerie-Korps 410. The unit Artillerie-Korps (mot) 410 was formed 20 October 1944 in the area of Wuppertal. The corps was relocated to the west in preparation for the Ardennes offensive. On October 22, 1944, the corps was renamed Volks-Artillerie-Korps (mot) 410 and placed under the command of the Reichsführer SS as a “Volks-Verband”. During the Ardennes offensive, it was subordinate to the 5th Panzer Army and consisted of:

18 x 8,8-cm Pak auf Waffenträger
36 x 10,5-cm leichte Feldhaubitze 18/40
27 x 21-cm Werfer
12 x 12,2-cm schwere Feldhaubitze 396 (r)
12 x 15,2-cm Feldhaubitze 433 (r)

In Febuary it was attached to the 1. Armee which was ncircled near Kaiserslautern, but managed to break through the encirclement and retreat to the Danube, where the army was then destroyed. The rear has postwar unit and battle markings of a marker which could easily be removed with nail polish removed if wanted. A very nice and rare Erkennungsmarke!
