of the State Treaty as the “Austrian Scandal” (“österreichische Schweinerei”) and his threat to send Austria Hitler’s remains if they were ever found underscored how successfully the erstwhile lover and protégé had broken the German connection. However opportunistic Austria’s claims to victimhood under the Nazis or reprehensible its denial of an Austrian guilt in the Holocaust, these actions served not only to give both sides in the Cold War plausible grounds to rehabilitate Austria, but in combination with the implications of the State Treaty, they provided an indispensable (if largely false) foundation on which to build a new Austrian identity separate from a German connection. If there is a criticism to be leveled at Professor Steininger it is that he does not make this process and outcome more explicit. For those uninitiated in Austrian history, the author’s presentation of what happened between 1918 and 1945 may seem to be no more than a requisite interwar background for the unfolding of yet another aspect of what happened during the Cold War, yet for those who are among the initiates, Steininger’s presentation of the relationship between Germany and Austria in that era and up to 1955 is more like that between Banquo’s ghost and Macbeth, except that in this version the guilty Macbeth gets to enjoy his feast.
