PBS, do you have a copy of the Ziemke 1969 book on Berlin to check this statement: "he was detained in Austria by German troops who handed him over to the Americans" (regarding Schörner)?  Which German troops nine days after VE-Day (weren't they prisoners themselves by that date)?  I see statements that U.S. troops arrested him and am wondering about the "German troops" part of this statement.  Ziemke's Stalingrad to Berlin work (p. 498) mentions this occurring on 18 May and states the German troops were "1st Panzer Army" troops, citing a New York Times article of May 21, 1945 as its source.  Well, okay, I guess there is a citation  but one has to wonder considering the 1st Panzer Army (an Army Group Centre formation in eastern Bohemia on 6 May 1945) was at that time disbanded and prisoners of war of the Soviets.  My guess is that Ziemke's 1969 work does not provide any citations more authoritative than the NY Times article.  By comparison, the Der Spiegel article of 1955 does not mention German troops as a factor in Schörner's arrest.
