Does anyone know the location of either or both of these places? The names appear in genealogy reports I have. I googled both names and got no hits, at least not as towns or villages. Kemme was referred to in a compilation of American aircraft that flew over Germany. One entry stated that one bomber went down 2 Km north of Kemme and 8 Km from Hildesheim.
Thanks, Max

Hy Max
A place called "Kemme" is now part of the village "Schellerten", which is about 10 km east of "Hildesheim" on Nat. Route B1.
"Semmen" is unknown to me. Could it be "Semmenstedt", which is about 15 km south-east of "Wolfenbuettel" on Nat. Route 79, direction "Halberstadt"?
Kind regards

Thank you Hans. The location of Kemme coincides with what I have and I believe 'Semme" is a mistranslation of Kemme.

I couldn't find Semmen but Semmenstedt (postal 38327) near cities of
Wolfsburg and Braunschweig.
