Two people have been charged in Austria for allegedly playing speeches by Adolf Hitler over the loudspeaker system of a train.
The two suspects, who were not identified, also allegedly shouted “Heil Hitler” over the train’s intercom several times on Sunday.
The train had been running from the westernmost city of Bregenz to the capital Vienna, Austrian news agency APA reported.
The authorities tracked the duo down by analysing video from the train cameras.
Spreading Nazi propaganda has been made a criminal offence in Austria.
