G*rmoids at it again....
A German military engineer by the name of Samuel Zimmermann invented the Fladdermine (flying mine). It consisted of a few pounds of black powder buried near the surface and was activated by stepping on it or tripping a wire that made a flintlock fire. Such mines were deployed on the slope in front of a fort. They were used during the Franco-Prussian War, but were probably not very effective because a flintlock does not work for long when left untended.[17][22]

Looks like the double n version is more germoid
Surname distribution data on Forebears ranks Zimmermann as the 20th most common surname in Germany, while the Zimmerman spelling is more common in the United States. Zimmermann is also very common in Switzerland, where it ranks 14th in the nation, and in Austria, where it comes in 66th.

The double n makes no difference. I'm sure the jews dropped N's when migrating to the USA like they dropped N's in the USA when they ran the Atlantic slave trade.
Plenty of jews with single N "-man" and double N "mann" names.
