Capture date of Sepp Dietrich

In the article, this statement is made:

"On May 12, Sepp Dietrich was finally captured by American troops of the US Third Army, [1] four days after Victory in Europe Day."

Sources other than Dollinger claim his date of surrender as May 9 or even May 8 (see http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=8696 for one example). Seeing as U.S. newspaper archives appear have reported on his capture on May 12, it seems his capture must have taken place earlier. I have moved this statement to the discussion page of the article until a firm date can be established. W. B. Wilson 18:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vienna in Austria or Germany

Wouldnt Vienna technically be in Germany as Austria was annexed by Germany and ceased to exsist as an indepentant state? Austria didnt secede from Germany until April, 17th 1945. All maps up until August 1945 show the area of austria as part of Germany.
