Anschluss - Myths & Context

Some Information on the Anschluss - the German Annexation of Austria in March 1938. Basically, I talk about Austria from 1918 to 1938, the naming ("Deutschösterreich"), the Versailles Treaties (Treaty of St. Germain), the Civil Wars, etc. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » RallyPoint - https://www.rallypoint.com/organizations/military-history-visualized » tumblr - http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ Military History Vlogs is a support channel to Military History Visualized with a focus personal accounts, answering questions that arose on the main channel and showcasing events like visiting museums, using equipment or military hardware. » SOURCES « Kriechbaumer, Robert: Die großen Erzählungen der Politik. amazon.de (affiliate): http://amzn.to/2p6HXe8 Deutsche Militärgeschichte – 1648-1939: VII: Wehrmacht und Nationalsozialismus 1933-1939 Amazon.de (affiliate): http://amzn.to/2ImBdl2 » DISCLAIMER « Amazon Associates Program: “Bernhard Kast is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.” Bernhard Kast ist Teilnehmer des Partnerprogramms von Amazon Europe S.à.r.l. und Partner des Werbeprogramms, das zur Bereitstellung eines Mediums für Websites konzipiert wurde, mittels dessen durch die Platzierung von Werbeanzeigen und Links zu amazon.de Werbekostenerstattung verdient werden können.

Excellent vlog. You know the military intricacies of Anschluss would make a decent podcast (were officers and enlisted given the same ranks they had in the Austrian Army? What about the Austrian Air Force? Were military schools kept open? What about Austrian military infrastructure? What Wehrmacht training installations/infrastructure were moved to/opened in/kept in Austria?).

We've been raised on the Sound of Music , perhaps the most successful anti-Nazi movie of all time. This definitely gave the impression that there were leading Austrians who despised the Nazi takeover. Maybe this is Hollywood fantasy, but it has shaped our outlook. We even believe that Edelweiss is your national anthem! (apologies, if you find this insulting!) The question I have is what was the population of Austria in comparison to Germany? How many Austrians fought in the combined German Army in WW2? How effective were they? And why was it that the Soviet Union during the Cold War eventually gave up its territorial control of large parts of Austria instead of keeping it permanently divided like Germany?

Might cover some of those aspects, but generally I run into so many interesting topics (and books) all the time, I can't keep up, have a stack behind me that I have to return unread to the library. The Visualized episodes take too long, guess I need to find a way to make them faster.

never saw it, so I can hardly comment on that. Well, the Anschluss and takeover are - depending on the perspective - different things. I would say in March/April 1938 it was like coming to a new country, the first 6 weeks (in my experience and those of a well-traveled friend) are the "honeymoon phase". Additionally, for political enemies of the nazis it was something different. Additionally, the previous Chancellor Dollfuß was killed by the nazis and denied the last rites. Another thing is that there was a "culture war" between the nazis and catholic church later on. So, it really depends on where, when and at what you look. As far as I know Austrians serve pretty much the same way as Germans. I have data for one small village and was quite surprised that they had fighter pilots, infantry, Panzer, ss, flak, medics, etc. with just around 150 men. I suspected them to be mainly infantry, but there was basically everything there. From the organization as far as I know, usually German officers served with Austrians or vice-versa. The Cold War stuff, I should know, but I am not sure, one is for sure the Neutrality, but I never looked into this. Also Austria always served as "a gateway" to the east, even nowadays a lot of money is invested in Eastern Europe.
