Weren’t they at war in the 1930s??? I mean not with other countries. This had nothing to do with WWII.

They were fighting against emus…and LOSING. Yes, the bird, emus. Lost a war…to birds. Whose only tactic was “when they shoot at us, we RUN!”

Oh shit. I misread that.

Well it’s Austrias fault. That would be like if Hawaii were named Camada and expect people will always read it as intended. Should just get their own damn name. Plus, Hitler came from Austria. They should have changed their name in 1946. Been like “Sorry guys, thats our bad.”

TBF to Osterreich, in their native tongue it’s a different large flightless bird whose name they’ve stolen.
