Re: Soviet VVS attack over Austria in early March 1945?
Sure Gabor, I thought about this. But Vienna is just too far away from the area south of Graz that it could be mixed up. The hospital train located at at train station or marshalling yard would fit but I have my doubts. We've collected a punch of different reports with lot's of Soviet attacks included (most the time assumptions by the witnesses I guess). For example, just a few days later:
March 14th, 1945 - just after midnight (00:30 a.m.) - attack of 2 Soviet aircraft at low level against railway station Kraubath near Leoben, Styria
March 23rd, 1945 - again 3 Soviet low level aircraft attacking rail station Wildon at 10:00a.m. One railway locomotive was destroyd and minor damage at the station itself. Interesting is that there are also reports of USAAF and RAF. The witnesses DID distinguish! I'll keep at it...
Or here on March 27th, 1945 at 09:30 a.m.: 3 - 4 Soviet aircraft drop five 5kg fragmentation bombs at Stanz, Muerztal.
Cheers, Kurt
