Of course Austria is a haven for Nazis. Hitler was massively popular there. The Wermacht didn't have to fire a shot to take over Austria.

Hell, wasn't one of the PMs a Nazi a few years back?

And as far as 'never forget' goes; it's a rude joke. The world 'forgets' all the time. Cambodia, China, the Ukraine, the USSR, Rwanda, Iraq, Iran slaughering religious minorities...never forget my ass.

Kurt Waldheim is who you're referring too, I believe.

When I read the title of this piece, I thought of, and looked up Mr. Waldheim.

"In 1986 he was elected president of Austria, despite the scandal caused by the revelation that he had been an officer in a German army unit that committed atrocities in Yugoslavia during World War II; he denied any knowledge of the atrocities.

An international investigation cleared him of complicity, but many felt he must have known more than he revealed. His tenure as president was marked by international isolation, and he did not run in 1992."

And these are the people that didn't want Tookie executed.

I always thought the Iron Curtain was a way to keep western media and peoples relatives out of eastern Europe's/USSR's killing fields from investigating the 60 million that were murdered and property stolen.

I also found it strange that the term "IRON CURTAIN" was used by a Nazi describing what USSR was all about.

Than Winston Churchill popularized the term "Iron Curtain".

Who is next....

"And as far as 'never forget' goes; it's a rude joke. The world 'forgets' all the time. Cambodia, China, the Ukraine, the USSR, Rwanda, Iraq, Iran slaughering religious minorities...never forget my ass."

Communists can kill hundreds of millions and still get a pass from most people, including Jews. All people care about prosecuting is the Nazis. I have always thought it strange, but then the would is an exceedingly strange place.

It was Kurt Waldheim. Not only was he the PM of Austria, he was secretary General of the U.N. as well

There may have been a hard liner more recently, but Waldheim wore the uniform

There are two lies about WW2. The first is that Hitler was a German. The second one is that Austria was an occupied country
Kurt Waldheim was PM in Austria, and if I remember right, he was in the SS. Publically he basically shrieked "Lies! All lies! I was in law school in Vienna!" They had to add a new disease to psychiatric jounals: Waldheimer's Disease; "I was a nazi, but I forgot!"
