Re: Zimmert, 2./ NAGr 13; any info?

Under “Day, time, place and type of death” it says “Penzing bei Landsberg/Lech, Bomb. Spl. Kopf u. Körper”. So he was killed by bomb splinters in the head and body. I’d guess it was an American raid but it doesn’t look as if the 8th Air Force was attacking Bavarian targets that day.

These cards usually seem to say if it was an accident (“Unfall”) which suggests that this was a case of enemy action.
