  3. Hello Hair Bear, sorry a can't locate the pictures with the cars on the road. But i can say that Ferlach and Waidisch are near the border to former Yugoslavia and have both very steep mountain roads. Near Ferlach is river Drau that you cold see in the picture. The lake near Villach is probably Magdalenen See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalensee (just a few words) -https://www.ferien-kaernten.at/der-magdalenensee-idyllisch-und-ruhig (text only in german but som pictures) A small lake near Villach. Velden is on lake Wörthersee and there should be more buildings along the lake. Werfen is on the train line from Villach to Salzburg and has i very significant fortress. https://werfen.at. The picture with the truck E 30 and himself could be the barracks in Klagenfurt. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Khevenhüllerkaserne_Mannschaftsgebäude?uselang=de#/media/File:Khevenhüllerkaserne_Mannschaftsgebäude_06.jpg They were build in a style the germans liked for their barracks but there could be others in Styria Graz (Hankesworth-Barracks, BelgierKaserne in german) in this style, too. Don't think the skiing pictures are from Velden.There are mountains around but not so steep and with ski slopes. Cant locate the church in the background in the pictures with the wood trees. Hope this helps a little motorfahrer
  4. Hello Hear Bear, all postcards are from Bad Gleichenberg still a famous Spa in Styria. To the history of Hotel Mailand i only can say what i found on this website. The Hall of Hotel Mailand called Mailand Saal was built 1895. 1966 the community of Bad Gleichenberg sold the Hotel Mailand to the country of Steiermark and a training school was built there. The hall still exists but new buildings have been erected around it. https://www.berufsschulen.steiermark.at/cms/ziel/74836003/DE/ There are some info to Bad Gleichenberg today: https://www.steiermark.com/en/Thermen-Vulkanland/Plan-your-holiday/Excursion-destinations/Historischer-Curort-Bad-Gleichenberg_isd_8384933 Bad Gleichenberg is not far from the border to Hungary which was getting a communist government and later the iron curtain . Hope this helps to see where your dad was stationed. Motorfahrer

  6. Austro Daimler 100 PS Zugwagen from Austrian Hungarian Army. But think its a later picture maybe found by the Germans after the fall of Czechoslovakia or Jugoslavia as they had a lot of equipment from Austria-Hungary Motorfahrer
  7. Maybe this would help http://www.jialing-gespann.de/Bilder/Hella.jpg you need to see through the Bosch number system for car electric. But its easy. There are 2 systems one for indicators only and one for indicators and brake light in one bulb. or this Regards Motorfahrer
  8. This technic was also used after WW II. Our lakes here in Carinthia were full of Germany ammunition dropped into the lakes by the British Forces to have it from the surface. Up to last years the ammunition disposal unit were diving before and after the summer season to get it back on the surface and dump it savely. I remember going out with the rowing boat and looking down to see the grenades, small arms ammunition crates and rifles in disintegrated wooden crates and trying to bring then up.
  9. As far as i know some damp comes from the ground. You should isolate the car from the ground with a tarpaulin and then have some vents on the top that the warm air can escape when the sun shines. As warm air holds more water the water condensate at the cold iron parts when the temperature drops. As the plastic covers the cars the humidity (water) is trapped inside and has no way to escape.
  10. Could it be that Austria ordered the Stalwarts without costly extras due to the tight budget our army always had? motorfahrer
  11. Nothing BH is a registration of the army BH (BundesHee). It may be possible to see to what unit the registration belongs to but this codes are militarysecrets. The article states that the engineering troops education school (Pioniere Truppen Schule) had tested the Stalwarts.
  12. No way to record the history as the plate goes back to the registration office when the vehicle is sold. But on the other hand the number is recorded in the papers of the vehicle. You need this papers to get a new plate at the registration office. Even when the vehicle is exported the papers go with the vehicle. BH is the code for the Army (Bundesheer). The registration is organized by districts so you can see where the vehicle is registered.
  13. Hello do you know that the Austrian Army (Bundesheer) bought 3 Stalwarts in 1966 to test their usability. During testing a deadly accident happened and this was the end of the Stalwart in the Austrian Army. There is still one Stalwart in the collection of the Traditionsverband Heereskraftfahrwesen ( Association of the tradition of the Army's motorized arm). There is a link to a side but its only in German. https://www.hkfw.at/de/unsere-fahrzeuge/27-alvis-stalwart-fv622-mk-ii Motorfahrer
