Austrian railway probes ‘Hitler’ train announcements

AUSTRIAN rail operator OeBB said today it has filed complaints against two people after they had allegedly manipulated the trains’ loudspeaker announcements to play what appeared to be Hitler salutes and speeches.

The incident comes after two trains had been manipulated last week to broadcast a “nonsensical, confusing mix” of children’s songs and old, flawed announcements, OeBB spokesman Bernhard Rieder told AFP.
