Hi Nick,

Whatever Zeltweg (or Saaz btw) I did have the same thoughts BUT, in the mean time, I wonder if the British or the US where that stupid to let such machine in Russian hands...

PS: there is some kind of a factory in the far background, aren't we able to ID it?

The Soviets were there first, withdrew in July and then the British moved in. It was all part of establishing the different occupation zones in Austria.
