Hi Rachael,
I am looking for my father's German Military records as well but I was told
that they were destroyed in the Allied bombing of Berlin in WWII. How did
you go about finding your grandfather? My father was Nikolaus Rudolph Bohn,
born Dec. 22, 1898 in Dombrowa, Worokomle, Kreis Kowel and I believe he may
have served with the 147 von Hindenburg Regiment in 1916 - 1919.
Regards,
Lorne Bohn

FYI - Free search on ancestry.com all this w/e for military records. I
think I may have finally located my Grandfather's WWI German military
records. Good luck!
