[edit]Some informations from Austria:
Abrecht Gaiswinkler actually founded a resistance group back in 1940, together with the mentioned Valentin Tarra, Johann Moser and Hans Renner. In April 1945, when he parachuted from a Royal Air force Plane back into the Salzkammergut region to arrest or assassinate Joseph Göbbels for the British Special Operations Executive, where he was part of the Austrian Section, his comrades in this mission were the two Vienese Karl Litzer and Karl Standhartinger and Joseph Grafl from Burgenland, who had also been long in British service and who has been in Greece, Burma and Hong Kong before.
Actually the movie "Where Eagles Dare" from 1968 with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood is based on the story of Albrecht Gaiswinkler and his group of agents, but refers only very vaguely to the historic facts. In the movie the agents are Brits and Americans, but never the less it was shot in the region around the actual site of the event. --El bes (talk) 22:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
