Game Over Arminia Czernowitz!

The student franternity Arminia Czernowitz, founded in the year 1877 in Czernowitz and based since 1943 (!) in Vienna, then in Salzburg and finally in Linz, is going to organize – under vehement protests of the civil society – its Fraternity Ball 2012 on 11.02.2012. Arminia Czernowitz has been categorized by the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resisitance (DÖW) as a right-wing extremist organization. It’s heraldic motto is “Ehre – Freiheit – Vaterland” [Honor – Freedom – Homeland], but what they are exactly meaning by this, one can realize by comparing the flyers released by Arminia Czernowitz in the year 2010 and by the Nazis in the year 1931 in ideological preparation for WW2!
