Austria diplomat under fire for ‘Nazi’ T-shirt

Austria’s foreign ministry has recalled an attaché from its embassy in Israel after he posted a picture of himself on social media wearing a T-shirt bearing the name of a Nazi tank division.

A screenshot of the post on Juergen michael Kleppich’s Facebook shows him in the green shirt with the words “Stand your ground” and “Frundsberg”.

Georg von Frundsberg, a mercenary in the 15th century, was the name used by the Nazis during the Second World War for its 10th SS Panzer division.
