Re: Helicopter landing in SouthTyrol , Sarntehein village
Dear Leendert,
what an surprising connection to the tensions between Austria and Italy in 1961. Thx a lot for effort and hint.!!
Actually that time folkes in South Tyrol did not dare to ask something and did not move around, police and army everywhere. Prosecution matters of "partisans" were secret and dangerous......
A possible answer why the locals know little about the heli .....
Please look for more details around the 1961 tension and US CH-34.
Aside of this in 2019 the DPAA, a friend of mine from Italian South Tyrol and myself from Austrian Tyrol succeeded in finding a MIA pilot ( Lt. Lowell Twedt)not far from to the site where the referring heli had landed (Sarnthein village) in 1961.
All the best
