pipe bombs. Shooting pins, like in James Bond movies. machine guns. black powder. Nazi memorabilia galore – the stately family home in Baden near Vienna turned out to be Nazi hell. In court in Wr. Neustadt (Lower Austria) was now a 53-year-old engineer and his wife, academic, lawyer Normann Hofstätter on the side.
Judge Barwitzius asks about the belongings. The House? “I have no idea.” – “In times like these, everyone has them.” – “I don’t, I don’t intend to sell him.” Car? “Yes, old-timer,” said the accused of reactivation. Herr Rat: “Only old, or a real old-timer.” It’s an American sled. That’s all the 53-year-old from Lower Austria likes to talk about.
Swastika baubles and “Mein Kampf” in the house
Furthermore, he confesses everything and also takes responsibility for his wife: “She knew nothing.” Nothing about him sending WhatsApp messages back and forth with Nazi format: photos of Christmas tree balls with swastikas and the like. Hitler’s pamphlet Mein Kampf was on the shelf in the living room, but was covered by a wooden bird. When visitors come. The rest, such as photographs and weapons, were found in the beautiful garden shed and in the basement.
“I’m Too Embarrassed”
The arsenal of weapons listed in the indictment, which spans many pages, weighs more than a ton. He wants to “destroy it completely and completely, please.” Otherwise, silence again: “I’m too embarrassed.” The police investigation even went so far as to say that he was the 15th member of the “decent people’s militia” – a neo-Nazi organization. But his last contacts were years ago.
For him, there are two years of probation, for the “ignorant” woman, a year and a half of probation, not legally binding – the couple asked for a reflection period.
