As well as minor edits, I've heavily revised the following two paragraphs from the History section:
"During World War II Wiener Neustadt was the hardest hit austrian city in terms of bombings, about 80% of the city was destroyed, thousands of people died due to american bombing.
"In 1946, in order to recunstruct the city following destruction by bombs in World War II, the city administration called upon the population to participate in the effort on a volunatary basis, as thousands of tons of debris had to be removed. In 1955, when Austria regained its full independence from allied control in the Austrian State Treaty, most of the repair work in the most heavily destroyed city of Austria had been completed"
This is because of repetitions (hardest hit, most heavily destroyed) spelling errors and style points. I'm also not sure of the role of ordinary people in the reconstruction effort, so I've taken it out.
I've removed mention of an Austrian Flight Week, because there's no evidence of it in Google.
I can also find no description of the catwalk by a Japanese designer referred to in the article. Can anyone help with this? --Motmot 11:07, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
1. everybody in wiener neustadt had the duty to do reconstruction work after WW2 which was forced by some kind of law 2. The Austrian Flight week has taken place in 1911 (when my memory is correct) there is evidence in the technical museum of vienna and in the museum of Wiener Neustadt (google is not everything) 3. I´ve actually been on this catwalk (plese excuse my spelling) Dr. Iceman
[edit] Hungarian Name
What's the reason for giving the Hungarian name of the city? Wiener Neustadt was never within the Hungarian territory (only occupied by Corvinus for 3 years) nor is it in a bilinqual district of Austria. Therefore I would suggest to cancel this. --Heraklitcnl (talk) 09:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
