Anschluss

On 12 March 1938, German troops marched into Austria and Hitler declared "Anschluss", or political union.

The anniversary of the Anschluss has revived debate among Austrians about whether they were victims or supporters of the Third Reich.

Otto von Habsburg, 95, the son of Austria's last emperor, told a commemorative meeting that no state in Europe had "a greater right than Austria to call itself a victim".

But the president of the lower house of parliament, Barbara Prammer, told Wednesday's session that Austrians were complicit in Nazi crimes. She said any suggestion that they had been forced to commit atrocities was a "fiction of history".

I know nothing about Mrs Prammer, but I think she is right, and the archduke is grievously wrong.
