Divers in Austria have found the wreckage of an American P47 "Thunderbolt" airplane in the middle of the lake Traunsee. Yesterday afternoon the wreckage was lift from the one hundred meter deep ground and the airplane is in a very good condition.
The pilot touched the water surface with his air-screw at a low-level flight on May 8th, 1945 and the "Thunderbolt" has gone down into the deep water.
A German soldier watched the flying accident and he rescued the American pilot.
Some days later Germany capitulate and the war in europe was finished.
Now the fight continues because the holding businessman shall have sold the airplane to an American millionaire but the Austrian museums want to have it in their showroom.
