Franz Xaver Kottmann death Military death record
I was told my grandfather "died on the Russian front" in about 1945. He worked in the "underground". I also heard he might have tried to desert on the Russian front with his Serbian "girlfriend" and was killed by his own troops. supposedly a watch and wedding ring were sent to confirm his body but I never saw these items?
How would I be able to obtain military records for him and his death? :
Franz Xaver Kottmann
Born 05 MAR 1906 • Gmünd, Württemberg, Germany
Died about 1945
