Martin Pollack was an Austrian journalist, book author, translator, Slavist and historian. "One of Austria's most distinguished public intellectuals", Pollack propagated a fact-based truth and reconciliation in Austria for WWII crimes, which he saw as lacking in public discourse. Born into a family of devout Nazi supporters and war criminals at the end of World War II, Pollack managed to free himself from the beliefs of his family by way of his secondary schooling in the late 1950s in Salzburg. ...more

“3 лютого по радіо вперше повідомили про Сталінград. Там воювало багато австрійців, чимало з них там загинули або потрапили у полон. У звіті СД Лінца про настрої у регіоні написано, що Сталінград викликав у Верхньому Дунаї «щонайглибший смуток, почасти навіть пригніченість та зневіру». Служба безпеки повідомляла про критиків, які вимагали закінчення війни, і навіть про напади на високопоставлених партійців. У Ґізкірхені якась проста селянка начебто надавала ляпасів командиру місцевого загону і вилаяла його, коли той повідомив їй новину про «героїчну смерть» її сина на Сході: «Це ви винні, що все зайшло так далеко!»

Серед населення зростали втома від війни, невдоволення й апатія. Гестапо відреагувало на це загостренням репресій. Раптово зросла кількість арештів за порушення так званого закону про віроломство, під що підпадали ослаблення бойового духу та злочини з використанням радіо.”
