Didn't get it. "<.<
88 -> HH -> Hail You know who.

Anything the ADL says is meaningless as they equate criticism of a state with antisemitism.
True but 88 is a pretty commonly used dog whistle, along with 1488
People should use better sources and call out the ADL when it's used but they're right on this. This information predates their current madness.
The SPLC's information is, unfortunately, nowhere near as comprehensive but they also list it. As does Wikipedia.
Anyone using "Austria 88" knows exactly what they're doing. No way you put that together by chance.
