Soviet VVS attack over Austria in early March 1945?
Just hit some reports about a rather small (but interesting) airraid against Wildon in the area south of Graz on March 9th, 1945. Eyewitness claimed to see at least 3 aircraft wearing the red Soviet star as nationality markings while flying really low. They hit the hospital train parked at Wildon train station. One rail car was severly damaged, several others obtained just minor hits. Luckily no human losses. The time of attack is idicated with 11:50 a.m. (probably Austrian local time).
For me the date March 9th seems to be a little to early for Soviet airraids in this area. Altough the explosive detail "red Soviet star" in the report points in a distinct direction... What's your opinion about this? Anyone who knows more about this airraid? Thanks for the interest! Regards - Kurtl
