Kŏnigskogel Flak Batterie Zwŏlfaxing Austria

[Sparky]

Good morning Larry:

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I have followed your suggestions and think that my question is answered. We have Leopold Banny's book DRÖHNENDER HIMMEL BRENNENDES LAND and when I checked it I found that I had highlighted Flak-Untergruppe
Rauchenwarth on page 417. I went through the listing of Flak units and came to the same conclusion as you.

My interest in this location comes from the fact that the target for my bomb group on 26 July 1944 was the Me 109 assembly facility at Zwölfaxing for which my bomb group was awarded a Distingquished Unit Citation. We lost three planes over the trarget. We visited Zwölfaxing in May 2000 and were able to visit the crash sites of these. Several other planes were badly damaged, some did not make it back to our base. Again, thank you very much for answering our request. If you will send us your e-mail address we will send you a couple photos from the site of the flak batterie and the cemetey where some of those killed are buried.
