Waffen-SS Artillery Officer Visor Hat

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Cafe Mozart is where I recall taking a coffee break while visiting Vienna all so briefly . . . wish I knew of Cafe Sperl - would have enjoyed it much better, I'm certain. Thanks for the tip! Some day when we return, I plan to see more of the academy of arts - very regretfully, I did not have the time on our first visit, as we were in a hurry to make it on to a much smaller destination just outside of Linz . . . a very sobering visit that quickly eliminated the buzz experienced from a few strong cups of morning coffee.

Thanks. I have been to Mauthausen, too. It is a truly awful place, and deeply disturbing as to the essence of our interest. The Academy of Arts is quite close to Cafe Sperl, in fact. Cafe Mozart is next to the Opera and not a very good cafe compared to the others. Sperl is kept in its original state and is also a pleasant, not especially touristy place. Or the tourists and the locals mingle happily, and the staff is low maintenance unlike the Mozart and other places that are kitschy.

But Mauthausen is an overwhelming locale, and a must see to be sure. It is much more awful than Dachau, really, as the architecture and the quarry are fundamentally unsettling.

People are free to dig up things here as the spirit moves them. Such is knowledge.

We all have a lot to learn, and this is the best place to do so, of that you can be certain.
