This is the second time I had to correct a Freeper on the Battle of Vienna. It was 1683, and it was Austrian,German, and Polish armies that defeated the Turks outside Vienna.

Why don’t you go repaint the Stop sign at the corner? Great work! Good for you! Did you see my question mark? When my blood is up, I don’t really care about useless details.

Oh, I had thought that the Vikings had sailed up the Danube to lay waste to the Muslim hordes. ;)

The decisive Battle of Vienna started on September 11, 1683 and ended some time on the 12th.

And to make things perfectly clear, the Turks under Sulieman the Magnificent beseiged Vienna for the first time in 1529. With a bit of help from fellow Hapsburg Charles V’s Spain it was repulsed by the Germans alone.
Sulieman intended a second time to conquer Vienna in 1532. But less than 1000 Croats at the Hapsburg fortress of Guns delayed his 100,000 man force for so long he abandoned the campaign.
