#Germany gave the world two of the most oppressive spy apparatuses the world has ever seen: the #Gestapo and the #Stasi, one right after the other, spanning many decades.

Much of #Austria's society was also complicit in the #Nazi era abuses, and Austria keeps its spy agencies very limited, even compared to Germany's #BND.
