Very Friendly Fire - researching WWII dog tags found in North Africa

Researching two World War II identification tags recovered in the Egyptian deserts led to the discovery of the unexpected stories of how both of their owners had died during the war. One was killed by an accidental discharge while the other died during the sinking of the Laconia.

The video explains how Italian WWII era identification tags can be researched without much difficulty, and shows numerous World War II examples of friendly fire or accidental deaths.
