They know that Austria's 6,500,000 are still nearly 50% pro-Nazi. They know that as a matter of prestige Adolf Hitler, who once roamed the streets of Vienna hungry, is willing to spend time...
Franz von Papen, Vice Chancellor of the German Reich, home from Rome where he signed a concordat with the Vatican, made pilgrimage to the ancient Cathedral of Trier to venerate Christ's seamless coat* at the first services held for that purpose since...
