It would be advisable for Michael K to realise that war histories are
written by the victors, not the losers. The losers might like to rewrite
their shameful part in the war but it will hold no creedence in the
wider world. I know some Japanese young people who were totally ignorant
of Japan's role in WW II. One young Japanese lass found that she learnt
more about Japan's war history AFTER she left Japan. What she was taught
in Japan had been thoroughly sanitised. She is now a resident of
Australia. I suggest Michael leave Austria to find out what really
happened in his country before and during WW II.
