In his commemorative speech on Ulrichsberg in 2005 a member of the provincial government, Josef Martinz (ÖVP), mentioned the participation of the Waffen-SS in the community of Ulrichsberg. This was the first time somebody critized this circumstance in public during the festivities. Of course the comparison of "good" Wehrmacht and the "bad" Waffen-SS is weak. Also units of the Wehrmacht were involved in war crime. Taking a democratic self-concept for granted one cannot accept positive associations with the Wehrmacht. Yet this speech on Ulrichsberg was a novelty and stirred up the community, because it attacked the revisionist consensus at least partially.
