I find it interesting that there seems to be so little information (on the internet at least) about Grimminger.

I'd love to know more about him, such as:

1. Did he do anything of interest after 1933 other than carry the Blood Flag? (I'm assuming since he was pushing 50 when WWII began that he did not fight in the war).
2. What did he do to earn or deserve the honor of carrying the Blood Flag?
3. Was he carrying the flag when it was last seen in 1944?

Thanks for the response. I find this from the Wikipedia entry on the Blutfahne: "The Blutfahne was last seen in public at the Volkssturm induction ceremony on 18 October 1944 (not, as frequently reported, at Gauleiter Adolf Wagner's funeral six months previously). This ceremony was conducted by Heinrich Himmler and attended by Keitel, Guderian, Lammers, Bormann, Fiehler, Schepmann and Kraus."

Does anyone know if Grimminger appeared at this October 1944 ceremony?

the question is not last time seen but last time in picture.
Sure we don't have all pics of Grimminger with Blood Flag. The book upon Grimminger show numerous pics of him but not all.
