Graz is a city in Austria with a airport used by training units in the war.
I passed it 4 times this year visiting family in Slovenia.

Thanks Hans

The place mentionned is "Umbalkees" in the eastern Tyrol, does it match ?

Dear Gilles,
you much know about the Ju 52 in Eastern Tyrol, where I live. Sorry to say, the Ju on Forum foto is definetly not that one from Umbal glacier !!
I have some sumer taken mountain fotos from Styria/Austria which are resembling to the background on Forum foto. But they do not really match and coincide with mountain peaks on Forum Foto. So we go on looking for the area, which would fit per 100 percent. Thx for engagement.
Each reply is welcome

As per crash report in the GQM files:
The aircraft had to make an emergency landing due to iced up wings on 28.03.42 at the Hohe Tatra in Slowakia. The accident was only documented by a unit from Graz.
