Did the Soviets have tanks in the soviet-occupied zone of Austria?
Undoubtedly. Did they use them as primary transport on the streets, such
that ordinary citizens commonly saw them? Apparently not, from the few
eyewitness accounts available on the net.



I love this

"Schwarzenegger lied!!! There were no tanks in his home town. He's a
lying right-wing fanatic, and this is the proof!!!"

"That's not what he said."

"Oh. Well. Schwarzenegger lied!!!! The Soviets left Austria in 1945!!!"
He's a lying right-wing fanatic, and this is the proof!!!"

"No, they left in 1955. There were 40,000 troops in Austria
in 1955."

"Oh. Well. Schwarzenegger lied!!!! The Soviets didn't use tanks!!!!"
He's a lying right-wing fanatic, and this is the proof!!!"

"It was doctrine that they did. If there were 40,000 Soviet
troops, then there were tanks."

"Oh. Well. Schwarzenegger lied!!!! There's a guy from UNC who wrote a
one-page memoir of a visit, and *he* didn't mention a tank. They must
have been hiding the tanks so *nobody* could see them. Ever!!! He's a
lying right-wing fanatic, and here's the proof!!!"

Get a grip. You're beginning to sound as stupid as Kerry.

Oh, and if you look at that CONSERVATIVE Austrian government,
it fits exactly the statements Schwarzenegger made. By American
standards, Christian Socialists and their ilk, including the
Austrian government at the time fit the Socialist definition
well -- state-owned media, state-owned industry, etc.

You Dems are merely sounding strident and silly at this point.
