Interesting - I knew that the Austrian leader was a right-wing opponent of pan-Germanism, but not all of this.

Former jewel thief reviews heist movies.  It's a long clip and it's not that great.  I'm just posting because he mentioned one thing I was totally unaware of (haven't confirmed it yet).  He says all bank doors have height markings on the inside, so they can tell from the video how tall the robbers were.

Those markings are very common in stores etc in Sweden.
