This was a very interesting interview to listen to. I find it ironic that the reason for the drivers not knowing the correct route is because they did not speak German and no one translated it for them. That plays into the Nationalistic attitude of the Austrian's and German's.You could ask yourself a lot of "what if" questions about this incident and WWI. For instance what if they did cll the motorcade off and simply gone back to Austria-Hungary? I still believe that WWI would have happened regardless of Franz Ferdinand's assassination. It was only a matter of time before France and Germany went back to war and tensions between Germany, Britain, and Russia where already growing tighter with Germany trying to build up their Navy and dominate Mitteleuropa as Wilhelm II wanted.Thank you for sharing this.
