Just the BBC being "PC" or justified??
 

Write up on BBC sport about Ingerland v Austria tomorrow.

AUSTRIA FACTS
Population: 8.1m
President: Heinz Fischer
Age expectancy: Men - 75; women - 81
Famous dead Austrians: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sigmund Freud, Johann Strauss
Alive: Arnold Schwarzenegger

I can think of one very (in)famous Austrian not mentioned, is it something we should sweep under the carpet or is it just a little too "PC"

apparently the germans have now forgiven mr H.

hopefully the rest of the world wont be so speedy to forget

maybe the BBc thought is was to do with football and who the hell wants to link Hitler to entertainmnet????? hence mozart and arnie are in......evil dictators are out

Freud??

i dont think he killed many ppl did he?

Didn't entertain many though did he ??:)

id have a drink with him ahead of hitler!

Falco was also Austrian, Rock me Amadeus ;)

lol @ Tiggs

what did they put about England ?

Von Trapp family :D

Peter Lorre

Curt Jurgens

Heddy Lamarr ;)

The Rothchild family

Ferdinand Porsche (yes the car bloke)

Schubert


and dont forget the great Nicki Lauda ;)

I'd have a drink with Hitler. I don't agree with what he did but I'd enjoy the chance to gain some insight into the mind of a persuasive madman, to front up to the piercing stare and to make him justify his beliefs! In fact a beer with both him AND Freud would be even more interesting! :D

Perhaps it was just someone at the BBC being thick and not realising that Hitler was from Austria?

You'd HAVE to turn up with a fake 'tache drawn on, wouldn't you? I wouldn't be able to resist! (No 'resistance is futile' jokes thanks ;) )

Oh, I thought Mr H was Jorg Haidar.

I'll get my coat...
