Klagenfurt - An Austrian court has convicted a man of glorifying Nazi ideology and sentenced him to two years in prison.

The court in the southern city of Klagenfurt found the 85-year-old man, who was not identified, guilty Wednesday of "re-engaging" in Nazi-era beliefs.

The prosecution had accused him, among other things, of glorifying Adolf Hitler and Nazi beliefs in two books. The Austria Press Agency said the man is a veteran of the SS, which acted as a special police force during Nazi times.

Austrian law bans the glorification of Hitler and the Nazi era, as well as attempts to diminish, deny or justify the Holocaust.

But glorifying communism is fine, and glorifying Hitler's Arab allies and their successors is regarded as a mitzvah! Don't worry about the last Holocaust, worry about those who are planning the next one.

If you people would more about Austria then all that malarkey would stop. Austria and especially Kaernten or Carinthia where Klagenfurt is located is a hotbed of Nazism and never will stop. A man named Haider came from there and he killed himself in drunken driving. Kaernten , Tirol and Burgenland were Nazis, are Nazis and will be Nazis and antisemites
