Kurt Knispels' Last Stand April 28th 1945 Southern Czechoslovakia
I tried to identify the Soviet military units that advanced towards the Czech city of Znojmo at the end of April 1945 and fought on the front section between the settlements of Stronsdorf in Austria and Vlasatice in the Czech Republic.
As for the publicly available information about the last fight of K. Knispel, there is very little of it and it is contradictory. The German publicist Franz Kurovski wrote about K. Knispel in his book Tank Asses, which has recently been translated into Russian. In this book, he adhered to the version of Hauptmann Diet-Corber, the last commander of the 503rd battalion of heavy tanks · FeldgernhalleЋ (sPzAbt.503 Feldhernhalle). According to this version, K. Knispel died in a battle with Soviet tanks (and / or self-propelled guns) on April 28, 1945 near the village of Vlasatice in the territory of the modern Czech Republic.
BUT!
- Vlasatice was occupied by the Soviet army on April 25-26, 1945, after the capture of Hodonin, Breclav, Mikulov as a result of the Bratislava-Brnovsk offensive operation. Vlasatice is 5 km from Mikulov. There were no heavy battles in Vlasatice, there were no military hospitals either!
The Austrian historian Franz Jordan in the book · Fights in Lower Austria in 1945Ћ adheres to the version of Horst Bechtel and Alfred Rubbel, veterans of the 503rd battalion of heavy tanks · FeldgernhalleЋ. According to this version, K. Knispel was seriously injured in a battle with Soviet tanks (and / or self-propelled guns) on April 29, 1945 near the village of Stronsdorf in modern Austria. units and divisions of the German tank corps operated in the area of the settlements Patzenthal - Patzmannsdorf - Stronsdorf - Stronegg - Unterschoderlee - Oberschoderlee - Unterschnerten Unterchnersten - Kleinbaumgarten (Kleinbaumgarten) - Altenmarkt (Altenmarkt) - Ungerndorf (Ungerndorf) - Falbach (Fallbach) - Ungerhof (Ungerhof). Presumably, on April 29, 1945, Stronsdorf had a tank of K. Knispel killed in battle with tanks / self-propelled guns of the Soviet 23rd Panzer Corps.
It is on the Royal Tiger, or PzKpfw VI Ausf. B Tiger II, held his last battle German tank ace
But Knispel himself was seriously wounded and taken to a hospital in Vrbovec / Urbau (Czech Republic). Only the place of burial of K. Knispel is known - the village of Vrbovec / Urbau (Vrbovec / Urbau), in which at the end of April 1945 the infirmary was located.
This village was located behind the front line in the German rear (20 kilometers from Stronsdorf and 37 kilometers from Vlasatice).
On April 28, 1945, the front line ran along the Dyye River, between Hranice (Czech Republic) and Laa der Thaya. Bridges were blown up, one bank of the river is steep. and another boggy and fortified bunkers of 1938. And this does not allow a direct attack across the river.
By the way, the attack on Laa was carried out along the river, from Vienna.
Vrbovec is located 6 km from Znojmo, 5 km from the Dyye River and 24 km from Laa, where the main battles took place.
Znojmo was taken on May 8, 1945, as a result of the withdrawal of German troops for surrender to the Americans.
All of the above confirms the death of Kurt Knispel in Vrbovec, and not in Vlasatice!
He died at the age of 23!
But it is still unknown where his tank was hit and it is not known exactly where his last battle took place.
It is only known that in those days German troops almost did not suffer losses. And compare the losses on both sides.
Summary of losses for April 27-29, 1945, in the battles of Laa der Thaya:
German troops:
Losses in equipment: 2 self-propelled guns destroyed, several tanks destroyed and sent for repair.
Losses in manpower: 1 officer died, 4 people died in the hospital from wounds (including Kurt Knispel), several soldiers were slightly injured.
Soviet troops:
Losses in equipment: 19 T-34 tanks and 3 self-propelled guns destroyed, 2 T-34 tanks captured by the Germans. Losses in manpower: 25 people were killed in battles, the number of wounded is not known.

Landstein Castle was built after 1222 at the latest to secure the then troubled Bohemian-Austrian border. It was probably built on the initiative of the Bohemian King Ottokar I. Přemysl for strategic reasons opposite the older castle of the same name, which belonged to the Austrian Zöbingers. The castle stood on the site of the later settlement of Markl (Pomezí). The valley between the two castles was crossed by a trade route connecting Bohemia with Austria and Italy; from 1179 it formed a part of the border between Bohemia and Austria by the decision of Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa.
The oldest part of the castle is documented for 1231, when the first castle administrator Hartlieb of Landstein (Hartlieb z Landštejna), a Moravian nobleman and castellan of Znojmo, issued a document attesting to the ownership of the area and proving the existence of the two castles. While the Austrian castle had the character of an open palace, the Bohemian castle Landstein corresponded to a modern, closed castle.
After the Margrave of Moravia and later Bohemian King Ottokar II became Duke of Austria in 1251 Přemysl, the border running through the valley between the two castles lost its importance. In addition, this branch of the Zöbingen family had already ceased to exist in 1232, and due to the unresolved ownership situation the entire area fell to Bohemia.
Around this time the widigons gained great importance in the settlement and colonization of South Bohemia. Their family branch of Landstein, which is said to have been founded by Witiko IV, a son of Witiko of Prčice, acquired Landstein Castle and dominion. It is not known in which year the acquisition took place. For the year 1282 Sezima of Wittingau (Sezima z Třeboně) is documented as owner. The most important owner was probably Wilhelm von Landstein, to whom the possession was transferred in 1315.
After the death of Wilhelm's son Litold around 1381, Landstein fell as a settled fief to King Wenceslas IV, who left the castle and the dominion of Landstein to his highest court master, the Austrian nobleman Konrad Kraiger von Kraigk. The latter undertook to open the castle to the Bohemian kings at any time and granted them a right of first refusal. Konrad's son Lipold was a captain of Budweis. As he was on the side of the Catholics at the beginning of the Hussite wars, the Hussite army commander Jan Žižka besieged the Landstein castle in 1420. He also burned down Lipold's castle and the town of Neubistritz, where he took Lipold's wife Anna von Meseritsch and her daughter Dorothea prisoner [1]. Under the Kraiger von Kraigk, Landstein Castle was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the first half of the 16th century and extended by the palace. The castle fortifications were renewed.
In 1579 Anna of Roupov, née Kraiger of Kraigk, sold castle and dominion Landstein to the Austrian hereditary lord Stephan of Einzing. He extended the dominion by further villages and in 1599 sold the property to David Neumayer from Jihlava. In July 1618 the imperial general Heinrich von Dampierre besieged Landstein Castle without success. Only his successor Karl Bucquoy succeeded in capturing it. Since Gottfried Neumayer was involved in the Bohemian Estates Uprising, he lost his possessions after the Battle of the White Mountain. In 1623 Maximilian Mohr von Lichtenegg acquired castle and lordship Landstein, which was followed by the Kuen of Belasy and from 1668 by Humprecht Jan Czernin of Chudenitz. His son Thomas Zacheus sold Landstein to Ferdinand von Herberstein in 1685. The Herbersteins kept the property until the second half of the 18th century, but had to sell parts of their dominion Landstein to their creditors due to over-indebtedness.
In 1771, a fire caused by lightning destroyed Landstein Castle. After that the castle was no longer inhabited. Subsequently, parts of the remaining walls were used as building material in the surrounding villages. The last owners were the Austrian Sternbach family, who were expropriated in 1945.
Of the originally large castle complex, the main wall with two towers and the Romanesque chapel have been preserved. From 1972 onwards, security measures were taken and subsequently an extensive reconstruction was carried out. Since 1990 the castle has been open to the public.
Czech Republic & Slovakia
Having been parts of the German Holy Roman Empire, the influence of German culture is strongly evident in the urban architecture of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The very first German university was established in Prague and not in the present territory of Germany Undamaged in the Second World War, Prague gives an idea of how German cities looked like before the devastating bombing raids. Liberec and Telc were formerly known as Reichenberg and Teltsch, and were inhabited by ethnic Germans, who were brutally expelled after the end of the Second World War as from all of the erstwhile Sudetenland which was part of Germany. The inner city of Prague and Telc are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is almost a suburb of Vienna, and was known as Pressburg, when German speakers were dominant.

Městské hradby (Velký Šanc) Tábor - Town Walls Tabor
Městské hradby (Velký Šanc) Tábor, Česká republika
Opevnění města budované od založení husitské pevnosti a zdokonalované i dalšími generacemi se právem stalo chloubou Tábora. V době svého vzniku, tj. kolem poloviny 15. století, představovaly táborské hradby značně komplikovaný opevňovací systém, který ve střední a západní Evropě jen stěží nalézal konkurenci.
Soustava opevnění využívala účinnou kombinaci parkánové a hlavní hradby. Pokud se nepříteli podařilo překonat první pásmo obrany - nižší parkánovou hradbu, ocitl se v parkánu, 6 až 10 m širokém prostoru mezi parkánovou a hlavní hradbou. Sevřený dvěma zdmi a vystavený střelám obránců jistě musel ztratit chuť pokračovat v útoku.
Na vhodných místech hradbu doplňovaly věže a bašty, odkud mohli obránci z děl i ručních zbraní působit nepříteli značné ztráty. Dodnes stojící Žižkova bašta, zvaná také Velká bašta, kdysi ovládala přístup směrem od severu a kontrolovala údolí Tismenického potoka. Později byla přestavěna k obytným účelům. Díky tomu zůstala jedním z nejlépe zachovaných zbytků opevnění.
Nejslabší místo představovaly brány, zejména tzv. Nová brána, která otvírala přístup do města z východní strany. Proto byla chráněna zvláštní pevnostní stavbou, nazývanou barbakán. Všechny na svou dobu neobvykle moderní prvky opevnění dokumentují značnou pokročilost husitského vojenského stavitelství. Přestože většinu hradeb v průběhu 19. století měšťané zbourali, představují jejich zbytky hodnotný vklad do historického dědictví města. Význam táborského opevnění zdůraznilo jeho prohlášení za národní kulturní památku se zvláštním režimem památkové péče a ochrany.
Town Walls (Velky Sanc) Tabor, Czech Republic
The fortification system, that had been built after the foundation of the Hussite fortress and improved by following generations, rightly became a boast of the town. At that time the complicated defence system was second to none in all Central and Western Europe.
Its uniqueness was based on the combination of two circular walls - the main one and the bailey. If an enemy succeeded in getting over the first wall, the lower bailey, he was trapped in the moat - an area 6-10 metres wide between the two circular walls. At that moment he became an easy target for the defenders and must have lost courage to continue the attack. Several towers and cannon bastions were incorporated in the town walls which gave the defenders an opportunity to shoot at the enemy from either cannons or smaller weapons. Probably the best-preserved part of the fortification system is the Zizka Bastion, sometimes also called The Big Bastion. It used to control the access from the north and from the valley of the River Tismenický. Later it was used for housing, and thanks to that it has not been destroyed like the rest of the fortification system. The most vulnerable points of the unassailable stronghold were the gates, especially the New Gate, the access from the east. That was why the gate was shielded with a special fortification structure called the barbican. All these then unusually modern features prove how advanced the Hussite military engineering was. Although most of the town walls were destroyed in the 19th century, their remaining parts belong among the most valuable sights in the town. They were proclaimed a national cultural monument and are protected by the state.
