Lawdog,

I have done extensive Military record searches on my family as well. This is ongoing as part of my Ancestrial research. You can write or email for german WWII military records at the following, however be aware that the correspondence you recieve back (records) will all be in German. I speak and read german so this was not a big deal for me.

World War II German military personnel may have service records at
Bundesarchiv - Zentralnachweisstelle
Abteigarten 6
52076 Aachen
<http://www.bundesarchiv.de/standorte.php>
or at
Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt)
Eichborndamm 179
13403 Berlin
<http://www.com-de.com/wast/>
WASt holdings center on those reported to be prisoners of war
(POW), missing in action (MIA), or killed in action (KIA), and
also on members of the navy, though other records are also held.
The Bundesarchiv has no records for navy personnel. Requests
for information may be sent to either office; they will be
forwarded as needed to the appropriate office.


Hope this helps.
