Kommando Viennenstock - April/May 1945?
 
On the US 70th Inf Div website I stumbled on a divisional narrative of May 1945 where a "Kommando Viennenstock" is mentioned, reportedly a special unit using obsolete LW-aircraft to conduct sabotage missions behind Allied lines.

See http://www.trailblazersww2.org/274/274t_AAR_May45.pdf beginning at the end of page 1.

A first internet search brought no further info, at least when using the name "Viennenstock" of the report.

Perhaps a LW-board member can help me out here if there indeed was an organization by that name?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,

Leendert

I think you're referring to the Buecker-equipped Sonderkommando 'Bienenstock'.

Did some further googling: must be Kommando Bienenstock. instead of Viennenstock as in the narrative....
