You can find the Austrian version of the video over here:
ua-cam.com/video/sJsHouMJm3c/v-deo.html
Tapakapa I miss-read it as the Australian version and expected the link to send me this video but upside down haha
@@Jobbazz Of course you did ^_^
I can understand this better than the Austrian version (german).
Sie haben sich grod einen feind fürs leben geschaffen des Österreichische Großreich wird sich erheben und sie suchen finden und für ihre beleidigungen richten.
My dumbass read Venezia - City of Spices. Came in thinking i was gonna learn once again about how the serene republic had a monoply on Ottoman spices sent to the west. WAS PLEASANTLY surprised to learn about how Venice is riddled with international spies!!!
"those who don't play along have already lost."
That's a really cool line
Crowbar Justice the music was perfect as well.
@@PyroBlaze202_alt It was great music but a bit of the theme from "The Third Man" might have been fun.
4:36 a diplomat?
4:41 PERRY THE DIPLOMAT?!
you deserve more likes
There's a joke in my family that my uncle is a spy, he has lived all over the world, speaks a dozen languages, insanely smart, very quiet and can blend into the background (basically the only time I ever get to talk to him is about maths), the job he stated doesn't seem probable, nobody knows exactly what he does, he always has a big office in his house which is always locked, and has a permanent residence in Austria, however he is wealthy which is the only thing which would discout him as a spy; he has never confirmed nor denied being a spy and just politely smiles when someone brings it up (he has never joked about anything - this could be his 1 joke in his whole life)
man i would love to have james bond as my uncle and actually hang out with him.
Field-Marshal. Britain James Bond vs Archer
So he could be a spy OR the complete opposite. He could also be a important member of a criminal organisation. 🤫🙃🤔
"Land of the Mountains, Land of the Streams?"
"Land der Berge, Land am Strome."
I see what you did there.
I'm not entirely certain, but I think Tapakapa *might* be Austrian 🤔
hmmm
He is definitely Austrian, this becomes evident in the German Version which is clear middle class Viennese and content-wise both versions differ in interesting details
He is he has an austrian channel
Walter Posch what do you mean they differ in details? Are not the same things mentioned in both versions?
@Let's Travel No, cuz we aren't nazi pigs.
It's great to see a video on this subject. I lived in vienna for a couple of years some time ago as my mother worked there for the UN. There were lots of stories about spies, but the most interresting part is that it was basically really easy to spot spies in an embassy as they were the only ones without name tags.
I also knew a guy there from belarus and his driver was also an electrician and a translator and who was alo around at every important event so, there still is quite some stuff going on
as an Austrian... why is it the most Austrian thing ever that espionage is legal as long as it's not directed at our country....
Na wös uns ned onzugehn hot

*notification from tapakapa comes in*
Me: This is the proof that god hasnt left us yet.

I would not have guessed this topic from the partreon sneak peeks
I try to make it a little more challenging ;-)
Vienna might be the city of spies, but Istanbul is its capital. The same year khassogi was murdered in consulate. 3 chechens were murdered by Russians. A Iranian dissident was shot and killed a American officer decided to commit '' suicide''
I watched the austrian version and this, as a german, this was easier to understand but the austrian version was more enjoyable. Why am I like that?
6:37 to those who don't know
That is a German sentence : "pie mal daumen" = "Pie times thumb" and describes a situation in which you estimate in such a quick time that it is probably wrong
In Switzerland we also say Wrist*PI or Wrist*ankle, you guys also do that?
@@gleqy Mind writing it in a sentence / in swiss german / german? Can't make it out if i ever heard of that when it's written in english
Having a saying for badmouthing inaccuracy seems like such a wonderfully German thing
@@gleqy nah
Plot Twist: everyone in Vienna is a Spy
There is only one random street janitor that has no idea why everyone has fedora looking hats
As a Viennese, I can confirm
does that mean that everyone there has a knife and a invis watch ?
Vienna's People often doesn't like each other and if you do something wrong you get sued.
that medic is a spy!

Almost sounds like it would be fun to spend time in Vienna to troll spies.
"Did you hear Sealand has started stockpiling nuclear weapons?"

Howdy from Hungary! Very interesting video! I do wonder how Austrians view the Austro-Hungarian times? Us Hungraians remember it fondly they were turly the glowry days. Not sure if it's good video material but I would definetly be interested in the other side of the story.
The glory days? You oppressed minorities in your half for the "crime" of not being hungarian.
@@lukasnahlik1979 That is why it is the glory days for them
@@lukasnahlik1979 the americans and canadians both oppressed and enslaved african-americans, yet those african americans still love america
Reppeti.Well,maybe the Hungarian sentiments changed.When I lived there,granted,many years ago,the glory days were considered to be 1848&49,the years of the war of independence ,independence from Austria.
@@Fugazinome Well probably it depends on the people, the more nationalistic/old hungarians don't like the dualist days, old people usually do that because of history teaching in the soviet union was heavily bent to make monarchy seem as bad as possible, nationalist just simply cannot accept that Hungary was better off with Austria. But people who are not biased can clearly see how much hungary improved thanks to the collaboration.
I really wish WWI and nationalism never happened, the world would be better off without it... probably.
True story
I work in the bundeswehr MI, and went to Vienna for holiday. I was there with a friend. We were tailed by a white sedan the moment we entered the city. I only realized this after we went into a prebooked parking garage, and the car hurriedly parked in a small alleyway and 2 men stepped out
those were just locals, they don't like germans
@@heyho4488 I'm actually Indian, but grew up in Germany, so there's no way they could have known.
@@thepocketlion6470 There is no way you could know if they have known :D
@@Jonathanizer the next day we had a major intel leak. Everyone went crazy. It somehow got to the newspapers as well. It was later found that there was a mole in the Austrian police.
@@thepocketlion6470 Wait the Austrians had a mole, or the Bundeswehr MI?
Wo sind denn hier die Wiener? :D

I love the colours you choose, they look really good!
Plot twist: he is actually one of the spies
"Austria is insignificant"
*Sad Austria noises*
Aber echt jetzt das hörn wir österreicher nicht gern ahahahahahah

Also da hab ich mehr Vertrauen in die Nationalelf unter Schneckerl Prohaska als in unsere Kiwara & Bundesheer ☝🏼
*ANSCHLUSS TIME*
:(
6:05 hahah, no more! which is the weirdest realisation...
exactly what I thought!
Me, who lives 5 minutes from Stixneusiedl, at 2:08 : 👁️👄👁️ wha?
Are you spy? 👀🕵️♀️
6:37
Only German speakers will understand this illustration
I tried to figure it out but I couldn't. I'm curious, what does it mean?
@@therealdave06 it's a German saying. "Pi mal Daumen" or "Pi times thumb" just refers to any approximation. So "Es gibt 8000 Spione in Wien, so Pi Mal Daumen" would mean "there are approximately 8000 spies in Vienna", but keep in mind it's an informal saying.
Hä pie mal Daumen
haha danke, ich hab das Sprichwort früher als kind öfter gehört, aber nicht gewusst was Pi heißen soll.
Irgenwann habe ich dann mal gelernt was Pi ist, aber nie an das Sprichwort gedacht.....war ein komischer "aha" moment denn ich gerade hatte.
6:37 a reference probably not many people get
Rehanga Gamage in german we say pi mal Daumen which means pi times thumb its a saying that something only a rough guess
I cant be a spy, I was in medbay doing a scan!
Sorry Bro, visual tasks are disabled!
I was at admin, can confirm.
This explains quite a few meetings in Vienna that were reported in my country's local news 🤷🏻♂️
Great video as always, keep it up!
Sam o'nella minus the ADHD.
I wonder how's spying operation in Hong Kong, I imagine it must be really good, given that their law doesn't forbid or punish espionage until recently...
Great stuff as always Tapa.
this was uploaded on my birthday :D
Happy birthday bro' ;);)

As an austrian I feel like I should have something witty to say about this, but I don’t
1:08 Land der Berge, Land am Strome...
never realized the city i've always known as wien was also the one called vienna in english until i watched this
😳😆😅🙈😹👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻👑
6:37 der gute alte pi mal daumen
The real question is how many spies does the Principality of Sea Land have in Vienna?

Interesting as hell and something I hadn't even come across, look forward to going through your library
Hahaha 6:37 Pi mal Daumen, I love this channel so much 😂
06:05 don't despair, there's Levy's and McDonald's there.
Q: Why is Vienna a city of spies and epicenter of most diplomatic events?
A: Habsburgs
(Note: Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria, nube!)
Could you make a video on Portugal being the spy capital of the world during ww2? I think that’d be very interesting. Espionage could even become a series!
.. land of the castles ... Burgenland
:) :) sooo funny :)
thanks a lot for your austria videos
theres a movie called The Third Man that talks about this
Sometimes I'm wondering why you don't have more subscribers rn
Your way to small of a channel for this stuff, you deserve more!
His what is small?

An austrian city has an austrian version.
Wow that was really good
nice i have been livin in vienna for almost my whole life
Hee, Servas Mundl
Me too I feel like I have no idea what being Austrian really means.

The austrian jokes are hillarious in english! XD
Awesome video
lmao i thought this was titled "City of Spires"
I thought it was city of spices lol. Nobody read it correctly
I read spikes
WHAT ?!! AUSTRIA, a rival to GERMANY ?! Hearing that apparently Austrians claim to be anything close to a rival to Germany elicits confused laughter from myself, as an Austrian. If anything, Austrian national identity is built around an inferiority complex regarding Germany... Never have I heard anyone claiming the two countries see anywhere near like eye to eye
More like a sworn enemy than a rival that's true. I think he just used the wrong vocab.
Why are people like this
Well,that may have been before your time,that eye to eye business.
Yes Austria is an rival to Germany!
Austrians often make fun of Germans(especially german words) and there are many austrians who find Austria better than Germany. But I wouldn't say austrias a rival to germany
Tapakapa, you should consider getting an email list to notify us about when you’ve made a video, like CGP Grey. I only found this video in my Subscription tab.
Working on that already. The algorithm is not to be trusted.
City of Hotdogs, too.
Just Derp Burenwust.I left Vienna in 1964 and still salvate after Burenwust.Not available in the US.
I would say it is thd city of Leberkäse
I was thinking more “Vienna Beef”, the hotdog company but eh, it works
Thanks now I feel very save
good shit keep it up
that is an excellent pronounciation of Vorarlberg! I myself live in Styria, or Steiermark, which has been spoken out countless times by Mr. Schwarzenegger...
i can +1 confirm the spy count

Funny thing to find out about my country
I thought Vienna was the city of sausages.
My city, Lisbon in Portugal, was also a spy city in a certain period of History, in the 40's during WWII, a lot of spies came to Lisbon to conspire about the war. This inspired the 007 series, if I'm not in error.
