Move follows discovery of songbook mocking Holocaust and celebrating Nazi atrocities

The chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, said on Wednesday he would launch proceedings to dissolve the Burschenschaft Germania zu Wiener Neustadt fraternity, whose former vice-chairman Udo Landbauer ran as a candidate for the FPÖ at last weekend’s state elections in Lower Austria.
