The WWII deserters "are at the very crux of Austria's post-war lie, because if the country was, as is still officially claimed, the first victim of Hitler's Germany, then the Wehrmacht would have been an occupying army and desertion an act of civil obligation," said Thomas Geldmacher, organiser of the exhibition and head of a group campaigning for justice for the deserters.
At the same time, the German Wehrmacht invaded Poland from east, west and south.
Topics addressed include mental aspects of Austrian Wehrmacht service, military resistance to the Nazis in Vienna, Soviet prisoner of war camps during and after the war, memories and narratives of Austrian Jewish refugees, the Nazi euthanasia program in Austria, post-war restitution and compensation of property in Austria, and the internal troops of the NKVD in the system of post-war Soviet repression.
