Your statement is probably true for the majority of the generation after WWII (with politicians leading the way), but definitely not for "The modern Austrian" (where I count myself in). We are well aware of what happened back then and we definitely know that Austrian people were involved of the cruelties that happened in WWII and before it.
There's also a Wikipedia entry about the Victim theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victim_theory. As you can read there official Austria confessed the role of Austria during WWII in 1991. That's late, I know. But also, that was nearly 30 years ago. That's what I would call "modern".
