Re: Kŏnigskogel Flak Batterie Zwŏlfaxing Austria

Thanks for your nice reply, Sparky. I am sending my e-mail address by PM so be sure to check your "Notifications" box in the upper right of the screen.

P.S.

Rauchenwarth is 3.1 km SSW of Schwechat airfield and 4.1 lm ESE of Zwölfaxing, so the Flakuntergruppe there may be the right one.

There is another outstanding Flak reference that I checked:

Nicolaisen, Hans-Dietrich. Gruppenfeuer und Salventakt: Schüler und Lehrlinge bei der Flak 1943-1945. 2 volumes (I and II). Büsum: Selbstverlag (privately published) Dr. Hans-Dietrich Nicolaisen, 1993. Pb. 1,792p. Illus. End of chapter source notes.

Unfortunately, while this outstanding work covers the Flak forces in the Reich down to individual battery level in exhausting detail, it does not include Austria! Can you imagine? Why Dr. Nicolaisen (in 1993 a retired public school superintendent from Schleswig-Holstein) left out Austria is beyond me.
