During World War II, on April 1, 1945 — Easter Sunday — U.S. Army 1st Lt. Harry Stewart was escorting a formation of B-24 Liberators near Linz, Austria on a mission to attack the railroad marshaling yards in St. Pölten, west of Vienna. During the flight home, they were attacked by a flight of German Focke-Wulf Fw-190s. Lt. Stewart got three victories, but three of the eight planes in his unit were shot down on the mission. One belonged to 2nd Lt. Walter Manning, who successfully bailed out of his P-51 and was captured. However, while downed flyers could generally count on becoming prisoners of war, Manning was lynched from a lamp post in Linz-Hörsching, Austria by troops inspired by local SS units.
