Using simple, provocative language, Haider, along with figures such as France’s Jean-Marie Le Pen, was seen as one of the pioneers of the new European extreme-right populism of the past two decades. In 1991 he provoked fury after praising the ‘orderly employment policy’ of Nazi Germany, in 1995 he dismissed Nazi concentration camps as ‘the punishment camps of National Socialism’, and said that the Nazi Waffen-SS ‘deserved every honour and recognition’. Haider’s father volunteered for service with German armies on the eastern and western fronts during the Second World War. His parents were punished for their pro-Nazi activities by being forced to work in mundane jobs after the war.
