OOC: Imagine if someone named Goldberg were to be captured by Nazi forces. He wouldn't want to have his tag on him.
If someone was captured by Nazis or any such cruel forces, cruelty would be inflicted upon them regardless. If soldiers have tags on them and their fellow countrymen somehow manages to recover their bodies, at least they could be sent back to their families and/or given a proper burial.
The cruelty would have presumably been greater had the captured party been of a certain ethnicity or religion. This proposal needs some provision that enables soldiers to use some pseudonym that conceals their origins.
