This year is the 60th anniverary of the Second Republic and the 50th anniversary of our Staatsvertrag, the treaty which was signed shortly before the last allied soldier left Austria after 10 years of occupation, on October 25th, 1955.

Because of that our national television broadcasted the first of four documentations about The History Of the Second Republic today.

Unreal that only 60 years ago THAT was going on. We all know it, we all learn it in school. But what they showed today, I have never seen before.

People think we are all Nazis, even nowadays. Back then, what choices did people have. I saw them dead all over Vienna today, hanged because they were for freedom and against Hitler. I saw kids, little kids, being shot, just because. You were killed just for listening to the wrong radio station!

There was so much bad going on. I really cannot understand why people think that we are all for it. It is insane, mad! ❗

During Hitlers regime, my Dad lived in Vienna with his Mom. A while ago he told us that during the regime he and his Mom were taken away by a friend, and a short while after that, all people in that house where they had lived, were killed, because someone of the regime thought they saw something sparkling in a window.

I am sure we have Nazis. But they live all over the world, they dont have their headquarterts here.

By the way, here are photos of Hitler giving his famous speech on Viennas Heldenplatz, powerful, and some more! And because I know people come here for pictures of Mauthausen all the time, this site has them, horrific beyond belief.
