I was under the impression they would have properly vetted Waldheim and knew exactly who he was BEFORE the UN appointment. It’s crazy to think otherwise. It would be a major embarrassment if true. But when did that ever stop Weisenthal in his endeavors to track the war criminals.

I found this: In 1994, former Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky claimed in his book ‘The Other Side of Deception’ that Mossad doctored the file of the then UN Secretary General, Kurt Waldheim, to implicate him in Nazi crimes.

These allegedly false documents were subsequently “discovered” by Benjamin Netanyahu in the UN file and triggered the “Waldheim Affair”. Ostrovsky says it was motivated by Waldheim’s criticism of Israel’s war in Lebanon. His opponents disbelieved and discredited him claiming he was never an Israeli agent, actually he really was Mossad.

Truly, I have no idea, he should have been vetted. Millions served in the Wehrmacht, I can’t imagine that all are considered Nazi war criminals.

Which camp, transport, or atrocity of civilians defined his war crimes? Did they ever disclose the important details.

This is the UN we’re talking about here, and at the height of their “Zionism is Racism” garbage.

Perhaps he wasn’t guilty of war crimes. But there’s no way he should have ever been UN Secretary General or President of Austria.
