    This blogspot needs to be put in perspective. Many Nazis during WWII were Austrians, and not only prominent ones such as Hitler and Kaltenbrunner.

    In fact, Austrians comprised less than 10% of the combined German-Austrian population after the Anschluss, yet accounted for 50% of the Nazi killers. To verify this fact, please click on my name in this specific posting.

    Actually this blog post makes me think immediately of Danielle, one of the informants for Bieganski. If you read her transcript in the book, you know exactly what I mean.
