need help!!!!Trying to find out which ship my father served on...

[Tigerlily]

Hello, I am new here so i am not sure, if i am actually on the right page or thread.
Anyhow, I am trying to find out, which ship my father served on in the second world war. All i know is his name, and that he was on a German Minesweeper, with the german Marine.Was a german prisoner of war in scotland and england, and was discharged from the german navy 31st december 1948.
It would also interest me to find out which POW camp he might have been in.
Does anyone know where i can look? Or does anyone know if there are names lists anywhere where i can search for him? I would be grateful for any help on this matter. Kind regards.

Welcome - I too am a fairly new member. Not really sure if what I have will be of any use, but as I was trawling through some records earlier, I came across this - it might be of use to you ?

It came from one of the war records/pensions site. The question is their's, not mine !


''Are you looking for information / war records of a relative in the military?

With German forces

Deutsche Dienstelle (WasT)
Eichborndamm 167 - 209, D - 1000 Berlin, Germany''

no telephone no. but I guess you could try their version of 'yellow pages'. Good luck !
