What really happened in a forest in Carinthia when a female hunter (68) and German soldiers came face to face one fall evening? The woman felt threatened by the men in camouflage and fired a shot. Now a new expert opinion from the public prosecutor's office in Klagenfurt sheds more light on the case.

The case of a woman hunter from Friesach who got into a fight with German soldiers is always good for surprises. On an autumn evening in the forest, the 68-year-old felt threatened by unknown men in camouflage clothing and drew her weapon. "The bullet whistled over our heads," one of the soldiers later described. But was it really that close?
