Alfred-Huth-Gasse

Major of the Wehrmacht Alfred Huth belonged to a resistance group within the Wehrkreiskommando XVII in Vienna in early 1945. They tried to support the Red Army during the capture of Vienna and thus prevent destruction in Vienna ("Operation Radetzky"). The plan was betrayed. Alfred Huth was arrested, along with Major Karl Biedermann and Oberleutnant Rudolf Raschke, and on April 8, 1945, was sentenced to death by an SS court-martial and publicly hanged at the Floridsdorfer Spitz in Vienna. In 1992, Alfred Huth Street in the 21st Vienna district was named after him. A plaque explaining the naming was also installed.
