Hi there
This is my first posting on this wonderful site eventhough I have been an observer fora period of time. I am requesting help in tracing my grandfather's military history. I know that he was an oberwachtmeister in a flakregiment. His name was Alfons Zimmermann and I think he was a member of the 5./Flakregiment 8 which was based in Munich . He was born on the 11 February 1915 in Todtmoosweg in the Schwarzwald in the province of Baden-Wurrtemberg. I do have his soldbuch but because of wear and tear and ancient german and my poor german it is very difficult to read. I also have electronic copies of some of his official papers ie awards , promotions , driver's licence and final discharge papers. I think he was finally discharged from the Luftwaffe by the US 45th Infantry Division on 24 June 1945.
I suppose what I am asking is guidance , direction in putting his military history together. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I would like to attach some of the documentation I have but I am unsure how to do this on this forum.
