Vaduz  - Angering the German Jewish community, Prince Hans- Adam II of Liechtenstein attacked Germany in a letter revealed Thursday, calling it a "Fourth Reich" that succeeded the "Third Reich" Nazi regime of the 1930s and 40s.

Liechtenstein already survived "three German Reiche" - meaning three eras of attempted German domination - over the last 200 years, Hans-Adam II wrote in a letter to the Berlin Jewish Museum, that was quoted by the Swiss daily Tages-Anzeiger Thursday.

He hoped also to survive the "Fourth Reich", the prince continued.
