Gen. George S. Patton Jr. and the Lipizzaner

Article Abstract:

Gen. George S. Patton Jr. and Robert Patterson, the Undersecretary of War, drove to Schloss Arco in nearby St. Martin in Innkreiss in Upper Austria to see the white Lipizzaner stallions of the famous Spanische Hofreitschule, or Spanish Riding School on the day before Germany surrendered and war in Europe ended. The Lipizzaners was secretly evacuated to St. Martin from Vienna in March 1945 by the Spanish Riding School' director, Col. Alois Podhajsky, who was afraid the stallions would be killed by air raids or captured by the approaching Russian army and sent to the Soviet Union.
