I'd have to go with Crocodile Dundee
yea he is Austrian....Um, ahnold?they have......Adolph Hitler
Why is this, do you suppose? We Americans have some shitty peeps in our history but the good ones surpass the bad ones.
I posit that the Austrians as a group still identify with Adolph's mindset.
Now I could be generalizing based on what Austrians post at USMB. But that doesn't make me wrong.
Why can't Austrians produce a better person than Hitler?
Joseph Haydn
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Franz Schubert
Johann Strauss, Jr....and last but not least
Arnold Schwarzenegger
i think most people would consider arnold a better person than hitler....they have......Adolph Hitler

I thought the topic was "most famous"?
I see where the quote says "Why can't Austrians "produce" a better person than Hitler?" but I've already run that one through the crusher.

Beethoven was German Mick....Huh...
My first thought was Mozart...
As for Austrians better than Hitler...
Wolfgang Puck
Franz Schubert
Otto Preminger
Ferdinand Porsche
Hedy Lamarr
Gregor Mendel
Beethoven
Christian Doppler
Johann Strauss
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Erwin Schrödinger
The list goes on...
And on...
And on...
Beethoven,Handel and Brahms were GermanShame someone like that overshadows the likes of Hedy Lamarr, Otto Preminger, Ferdinand Porsche, Haydn, Beethoven, Strauss, Handel, Brahms and Mozart
neither was Hitler....his favorite composer by the way was Richard Wagner,a GermanYeah. True enough. But he's not Mozart.i think most people would consider arnold a better person than hitler....they have......Adolph Hitler

Beethoven's a Dutch name.
Just sayin'.
And technically he was born in the "Holy Roman Empire", which I believe included what is now Austria, though the city where was born is today in western Germany.
Anyway anybody with an interest in history knows the boundaries of what are today "Germany" and "Austria' have been very different in the past, so what one means my "German" or "Austrian" is a bit of a sticky wicket.
Nicht wahr?

a little known fact outside of austria is that the first victim of the nazis was actually adolf hitler, then came the rest of the Austrians, like amon göth, arthur seyss-inquart, ernst kaltenbrunner, aribert heimNo one in particular though I do admit reading things here made me wonder why Austrians produced such a monster.Who could you be aiming at I wonder?Adolph Hitler
