It could be that Gottlieb Zimmermann from Ebingen was KIA (Volksbund list):

Nachname: Zimmermann
Vorname: Gottlieb
Dienstgrad: Obergrenadier
Geburtsdatum: 28.09.1926
Geburtsort: Ebingen
Todes-/Vermisstendatum: 25.10.1944
Todes-/Vermisstenort: Nuna

Gottlieb Zimmermann ist vermutlich als unbekannter Soldat auf die Kriegsgräberstätte in Mlawka (Polen) überführt worden.

Ebingen:

Here the text from the official website of the City of Ebingen dealing with the bomb raid:

Der Zweite Weltkrieg brachte mehr als 1600 Zwangsarbeiter in die Stadt, die Hälfte davon Russen. Der Krieg selbst kam erst am 11. Juli 1944 in Gestalt eines Bombenangriffs nach Ebingen, wobei 61 Menschen ums Leben kamen und im Stadtzentrum 37 Häuser zerstört wurden.
