Haven’t thought about old Kurt in a long time. He was in power during my youth (The second part of his life).

Were the wehrmacht doing deportations and involved in holocaust? I thought it was done only by gestapo and SS Waffen.

Random fact about this guy: his voice can be heard on the Golden Record sent into space, since he was the president of the UN at that time.

In Austria we tend to say: “I note that Kurt Waldheim was never in the SA, only his horse was.”
