Yes. The German ID was an oval piece of metal that was separated down the long axis by a perforated holes that allowed it to be broken in 2 pieces. Each piece had the soldier's Unit ID and his ID Number. No other info.

Each German soldier also carried a paper copy of his enlistment and pay records called a "soldbach". This would have more detailed information about him.

The Italians wore a small square tin dogtag that was two pieces stamped together, so they were identical and pressed together. They also could wear a larger square frame that held a paper records.
