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.
why is he listed in the category austrian ww2 aces? he wasnt austrian.--Tresckow 01:05, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
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. :)
He WAS born in Austria. In the town of Gmund in the Austrian province of Carinthia. 5th February 2007
