I would like to e-mail a link for the Deutsche Dienststelle's web site to the family in Germany of a WWII German soldier I am researching. The last time I looked at the website (http://www.com-de.pair.com/wast/) there was an on-line information request form that the family members can fill out to get copies of military service records. The idea here is that, via e-mailing this link and on-line request form to the family, it will make things easy on them and, thus, more likely that the family will act promptly on my request.
Problem is, when I try the link it no longer works. I pulled the link from among the pinned links at the top of this forum.
Anyone have another link to the Deutsche Dienststelle that works?
Also, am I correct in my belief that the Deutsche Dienststelle is the proper German governmental entity from which to request a full copy of a WWII-era serviceman's record?
The soldier I am researching survived WWII and became career military in the Bundeswehr. Thus I assume that even if his original WWII records did not survive, as part of his Bundeswehr service these records would have been recreated so as to form an accurate and complete record of his years of service to Germany.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
