I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to contact some German veterans. Any info would be great, thanks!

There are certain veteran organisations that you could contact. You can find the address to the organisations on feldgrau: http://www.feldgrau.com/contacts.html. I hope this helps, otherwise don't hesitate to contact me.

One of the best places to get addresses of veterans' groups is the book series "Deutsches Soldatenjahrbuch". These books are published annually and in the back they have about 20 pages of contact addresses for various groups (Heer, SS, Luftwaffe etc.). Once you get in contact with one of these organisations (and if you ask politely) they may be able to give you the names of some of their members. Others have newsletters where you could place an ad.

The last Soldatenjahrbuch I own is 1997, so I suggest you get the latest volume, which will have current information. The books are published by Schild Verlag in München.

Hope I've helped,
