Wait, people see Austria as a victim of the Nazis?

[-] moitoi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

It was the official narrative of the allies after WW2. They expected the Austrians to fight against the Nazis. It didn't work. After that, the Soviet liberated Vienna but the west didn't want them to joint the east block. The less to Stalin, the better. The cold war began...

The world had to wait 1991 to see a Chancellor expressing apologize.
