#1 One of the great blessings of the post-war era was that they DID leave without a fight. Perhaps they didnt find anything to loot?

#2 The Austrians were hard-core Nazis.

They were no more "liberated" than were other parts of the German "fatherland".

It is an irony of the post-war political deal-making, that Austria was considered "invaded" by Hitler.

The Austrians should have paid for their love of Hitler, just as the Germans did. The Austrians were never made to pay for their WWII crimes.

Which is why you have so many Nazis in Austria today.

#3 Austria was occupied by the 4 victors. The 4 powers agreed to leave in 1955 for guaranteed neutrality and elections. Unfortunately for the Soviets, the Austrians rejected the communists in the elections. The Soviets learned not to leave or allow free elections in the other occupied countries.

#4 I wonder if the Governator agrees that the Austrians never paid for their crimes.
