Revenge, Austria, March or April 1945 After the successful liberation of Budapest, the Red Army moved towards Vienna. The Vienna Operation 1945, or Battle of Vienna, lasted from March 16 to April 15, 1945. The fighting in the urban area itself lasted only a few days from April 6 to 13. J. Chaldej: 'Even with this photo, people ask me whether the sky has been changed. But you can see the idea below. Everyone says I just left that flag there. No, I only set fire to the house because the commander of the concentration camp lived there. I set it on fire together with the soldiers. And there are pictures that show how it burned down to the ground at night. '
