I had a suspicion about this Hitler allegation. Why? Because if you ever meet Germans or Austrians they are almost always wary of ANY talk about WWII or Hitler. They will either not talk or try to change the subject. Maybe they talk about these topics among themselves but with Americans it seems to be a taboo subject and they are very uncomfortable with it. Okay, I do know of one exception: an older Austrian guy I knew that was called the Mad Austrian (he called himself "Karl mit der K!") He would go on and on about how great Hitler was. Then when asked what he did in WWII he said he was drafted into the Wehrmacht at the age of 15 in 1945. The first thing he did upon entering the army was to DESERT.

We do business in Austria and Germany and you are dead on correct. It is a verboten subject - nobody talks about unless they know you really well - it is not casual conversation by any stretch. And those that will talk about it are also the ones that will tell you that pockets of Nazism (old school) still exist in at least Germany.

No, they don't. They might talk about their personal experiences during the war, but it is kind of limited to what city you were in. One thing is in wide agreement: Hitler destroyed Germany.
