Engelbert Dollfuss and the Nazis
Extent and Medium
2 electronic resources (9, 1 pages)
Scope and Content
The file consists of two typewritten reports by an unknown source about the events leading up to the assassination of the Austrian chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss by the Nazis in 1934. The account describes the efforts by Dollfuss to appease the pressure of Hitler to have Nazi ministers in his government, after the banning of the party in Austria. Secret negotiations with Theodor Habicht should ensure that. However, the leaders of Heimwehr discovered the plan and forced Dollfuss to cancel the negotiations. Soon after, the Putsch by the Nazis culminated in Dollfuss's assassination.
