FialaFernbrugg:
My favorite hobby beside Star Wars.
It is interesting what you can find in the alps.
Here is an example:
We found some parts of a B-17 Flying Fortress under the "Kleinhansel" in the "Seckauer Alps" last october. The plane was shot down by german AA in Zeltweg during a reconnaissance mission.

Tamer:
Now that is just plain cool on that Flying Fortress. Man, that is some awesome scenery.

FialaFernbrugg:
thx Shawn
It was a great day and the B-17 parts were the icing on the cake (the crew survived btw).

It would be cool to read the tale of those crewmen. I take it they were probably POWs? Or were they able to make it back to friendly lines?

FialaFernbrugg:
I wish I could tell you what happend to them but I don't know.
The grandfather of a friend of mine saw the parachutes of them but he couldn't see were they landed.
It is difficult to find informations about the crash but I guess they were POWs.
