Talk:Walter Nowotny

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Austrian Ace

Nowotny is born to austrian parents in Gmünd, an Austrian town, divided into an austrian and cech part after WWI (btw. see the impact the "peace-declarations" of WW I had on normal people back then!). He grew up in the austrian part and shortly later the family moved to Vienna.

No doubt, Walter was Austrian. ILSA

[edit] Grave of honour

I have added some details about the history of his grave of honour. ILSA

What an utter disgrace that this man had his 'grave of honour' status removed.

nowotny wasnt born in austria indeed but spent most of his childhood in vienna and schwechat and i guess those cities are situated in austria. :)
