Loss of soviet transport aircraft Austria 1946
Gentlemen,
Conclusive reports of several witnesses mention a large soviet cargo aircraft crashing into a mountainside west of Vienna, Austria. Bad weather and pilot error probably lead to this accident. It's not assured that this event happened post war but some references lead to the year 1946: There has been a local policemen seen at the crashplace guarding the site. A small girl and the wounded pilot survived the crash but the girl died soon afterwards. It's said that soviet officers and their families died in the crash. There is no official report neither at the police office, fire brigade nor at the parish office available. I'm seeking for help in solving this mystery. Thanks a lot on advance! Regards, Kurtl
