An Austrian soldier has been jailed for 19 months after getting a swastika tattooed on his testicle.
The 29-year-old drank two bottles of whiskey before his brother tattooed the banned symbol on his scrotum, the court in the city of Klagenfurt heard.
The soldier, who has not been identified because of Austrian privacy laws, was further accused of posting Nazi photos at a Cold War bunker museum, drinking Hitler-branded wine and posting Nazi propaganda online.
The 29-year-old drank two bottles of whiskey before his brother tattooed the banned symbol on his scrotum, the court in the city of Klagenfurt heard (stock picture).
He was sentenced to 19 months in prison for the glorification of Nazism and illegal firearm possession.
It was only when the investigation of his tattooed testicle started that he realised what 'nonsense' the Nazi glorification was.
Austria's National Socialism Prohibition Act of 1947 mandates prison sentences for those who try to revive or glorify organisations resembling the Nazi party. »
