A police officer in Austria has been sentenced to a conditional prison sentence of 10 months after he shared a photo of a dish supposedly favored by Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
The man, who has not been named in media reports, is a police officer in the Austrian state of Burgenland. He was found guilty of violating the Verbotsgesetz 1947 - otherwise known as Prohibition Act 1947, which aims to suppress a revival of Nazism in the country.
It is alleged that the officer shared a photo of Hitler s favorite meal on April 20, the dictator s birthday, last year. Hitler was originally from Austria and later migrated to Germany.
