History

The town traces back to the 1600’s, descendants of settlers like the Stettner and Hödlmayr families moving Southwest near Perg and throughout Upper Austria. …… In the Modern Era, during World War II the town was selected to be the DEST-business administration center for exploiting slave labour in the quarries and later the industries of the Gusen concentration camp, a subcamp of the nearby Mauthausen concentration camp. In early 1944 the town became the site of "Gusen II", the most brutal sub-camp of Mauthausen. In roughly 40.000 m² of tunnels and caverns dug beneath St. Georgen for the Messerschmitt company a huge and most modern underground assembly plant for Messerschmitt Me 262 fuselages was operated until May 1945 under the code-name B8 Bergkristall - Esche II.[3] In some trials of the Nuremberg Military Tribunal the relatively unknown term St. Georgen granite works was used to prevent the use of locations like Mauthausen or Gusen.

gollark: > what's convoluted about that? that's IPHow is it IP? The internet is packet-switched, not circuit-switched.
gollark: Also, potato.
gollark: You have to `bind` and `connect` still, and there seem to be separate "receive from" and "send to" things anyway, and there's a special "join_multicast_v6" thing, and with multicast stuff you have to worry about different interfaces and somehow binding to different addresses than the one you actually want to listen on and it returns useless errors and is generally aææææææææææa.
gollark: UDP is not a stream-oriented protocol and yet you have to muck with sockets in convoluted ways.
gollark: As I said, the socket APIs map *terribly* onto this.
