RE: [Cz-L] Otto von Habsburg in Czernovitz

Hi Jerry.....have done a lot of research into Otto...and found that he
helped about 15000 Austrians to get visas to flee the Nazis,many of these
being Jews. He was approached by Franco who offered him the Spanish
throne....Otto declined and told Franco the rightful King was Juan Carlos.
So ...where did you get the information that he supported Franco???

These facts are correct but for the sake of historical truth it must be
mentioned that he also supported the fascist Franco.
