filtherton is right, at the end of the day... Arnold is an actor - and most of his life he has been famous for being a not very good one at that.
His father was a high rankng member of the SA, its not surprising his family was scared after the war... no one will probably ever know now what his father might or might not be guilty of... but we know the sort of organisations that the SA and SS were... I too wondered about all the comments about Austria being communist, my understanding was that Russia had no influance in Austria after 1946... but I didnt want to say when I first read it because Im not an expert.
In fairness, its not a Republican or Democratic issue, a lot of politicians seem to suffer from these false memories... in essense its not really that different from John Kerry saying he loves baseball but naming his favourite player of his favourite team as someone who never played for them... just in Arnie's case it was a premeditated fantasy, rather than a spur of the moment bluff... and it is a subject it is rather more distasteful to lie about.
