Grimminger joined Bavarian Army in August, 1914, at the beginning of World War I, not earlier, and stayed all over the war with bavarian army's air service, from August, 1917 to the end of war with Fliegerabteilung 304 of Asia Corps (joining the army at the age of 16 and fighting with infantry is biographical fantasy, not so unusual among Nazis of his breed, - see Sepp Dietrich etc. - to produce for himself the impression of a tougher and more martial military record than it really was (see: Kriegsstammrolle (wartime military roster) No. 17978, Royal Bavarian Fliegerabteilung 304, picture 87, at ancestry.com; revised May 2, 2019). --129.187.244.19 (talk) 07:00, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
