Nej, det var ikke det Wiesenthal sagde.

Jeg foretrækker at se Haaretz hvorfra jeg citerer:
Waldheim, born on December 21, 1918 in the village of Sankt Andrae-Woerdern
near Vienna attended law school in the Austrian capital and joined the
German army after completing his studies at the beginning of the War in
1939.
After 1945 the son of a schoolteacher joined Austria's diplomatic service,
becoming an ambassador to Canada and the United Nations.
From 1968 to 1970 Waldheim served as an independent foreign minister in the
Austrian government before unsuccessfully running for president in 1971 on a
conservative ticket.
In 1971 Waldheim succeeded U Thant of then Burma as secretary-general of the
United Nations, where he devoted much of his energies to conflict mediation.
During the Iran hostage crisis Waldheim travelled to Iran to help negotiate
the release of US hostages held for 14 months at the US embassy between 1979
and 1981.
By 1985, after failing to win a third term, Waldheim returned to Austria and
once again ran for the presidency. When it became public during his campaign
that Waldheim had glossed over his time as a lieutenant in the Balkans and
Greece between 1942 and 1945, he denied all knowledge of wartime atrocities
committed by his unit.
According to the reports, Waldheim had assisted or participated in
transporting more than 40,000 Jews to concentration camps, and his unit was
involved in the mistreatment and execution of allied prisoners. The unit was
also made responsible for the deaths of 1,200 Greek Jews in the
Mediterranean.
While nothing in the reports said he was personally involved, they indicated
he provided the necessary intelligence or gave the appropriate orders.
Waldheim denied all accusations, saying he had worked only as a translator
in the Balkans, knowing nothing of any atrocities committed.
In Austria all revelations were rejected as undue influence and manipulation
by Jewish organizations from abroad, sweeping Waldheim to an election
victory on a mixture of misguided national pride and anti-Semitism.
He won the popular vote over his Social Democrat competitor by 56 per cent,
but was ostracized by world leaders, largely limiting Austria's
international role. Although internationally isolated, he was received by
Pakistan, Jordan, the Vatican and Saudi Arabia.
In 1987 the United States put Waldheim on their so-called "watch list,"
effectively denying him entry into the country. The charges against him were
based on documents publicized by the World Jewish Congress and a report
released by the US Justice Department, which said Waldheim's unit, where he
served as an officer, had been involved Nazi war crimes.
Waldheim announced in 1991 that he had no intention to run for a second
term, much to the relief of many Austrians, who had become wary of the
scrutiny their country was under.
Waldheim remained a fixture in diplomatic and social circles after his
presidency, but ceased to play a political role. Until his death, Waldheim
continued to deny any allegations of wrongdoing.

Mig bekendt var Bruno Kreisky kansler og ikke kejser i de 13 år han
regerede.
