Man who used Hitler oath on cell phone's voice mail gets 2-month sentence
VIENNA, Austria An Austrian man who used an oath of loyalty to Adolf Hitler for his cell phone voice mail has been sentenced to two months in prison.
Police accidentally came across the message on the 20-year-old's phone in 2004 when they called to question him about a burglary.
Prosecutors say he downloaded the message from the Internet. It includes the repeating of the phrase "Sieg Heil! (seeg hyl)"
The defendant says that the download was a "spontaneous act" and that he did not fully embrace the meaning of the oath.
He was sentenced to a year in prison for theft and fencing stolen goods, but the court decided to tack on two extra months for using the oath.
There is a law in Austria that makes Nazi propaganda a crime.
