hello,
in fact, most of walter nowotny's remains are still in achmer near osnabrueck, the place where his plane crashed.
his grave at simmering, vienna, was and is empty.
the whole thing now seems more a political affair, a struggle among "the good" (green party pacifists) and "the bad" (soldiers of any kind). behind closed doors, the "middle" in europe is loosing ground, and left and right fractions get more interest.
no good times, these times ...
