On page 551 of the textbook Geschichte Österreichs (published 1970) one learns that:
"The Second World War belongs to world history, but not to Austrian history. It was not an Austrian war. Austria did not participate in it."

Reading through JTA articles...
...and found this, Figl's December 1945 defense of his appointment of known antisemite Leopold Kunschak as president of the National Assembly:
"In an attempt to explain his appointment of Kunschak to such an important post, Figl said that Kunschak 'is not anti-Semitic on racial grounds, but on economic grounds,' adding that Kunschak is 'an old man and has some fixed ideas.'"
No comment necessary, I think.
