In 1919 as an act of Marxist right and mass justice the Imperial and Royal House of Habsburg?they of the curling ''Habsburg lip" ?were stripped of their lands and property down to the very nightgown of fugitive Empress Zita. Spurned by a Socialist Austrian Government, which exercised mercy only in saving the Habsburgs from being butchered as the Romanovs were butchered, Little Otto's uninspiring father, Kaiser Karl, was allowed to slip away...
