...prayed at the tomb of his greatuncle Eugen, toured historic parts of the city and had lunch in an old Tyrolean inn, then sped back to Germany. Though his public-relations man later reported that "His Imperial Highness was recognized and greeted with friendliness," few recalled seeing him. In fact, the only ones who seemed to care were secret policemen in two cars, who trailed him wherever he went and were relieved when he departed...
