Austrian historians are ridiculing California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) for telling the U.S. Republican convention that he saw Soviet tanks in his homeland as a child and left a "Socialist" country when he moved away in 1968.
Re: Austrian history v Schwarzenneger
Unbelievable!..
Maybe he passed through Prague when he moved to US?
Is this for real?

Interesting as well, what and how CNN reports.
Their correspondants obviously didn't notice that the actual Austrian Minister Ernst Strasser (Conservative Party ?-VPf) of the Interior told Schwarzenegger in New York yesterday: "Learn History!" (referring to 'Lernen Sie Geschichte', a famous saying by the former Social-Democratic chancellor Bruno Kreisky.
The reaction in Austrian media ranges from astonishment to refusal.
(The reaction of my Austrian aunt and uncle: what can you expect from a bodybuilder, especially from one from Styria.)
I think he may have hit his head as a youngster, and was thinking of a movie pitch when he made those comments.
