Resistance Heroines in Nazi- and Russian-Occupied Austria
The dazzling and brave story of Herti Bryan's experiences of supporting British prisoners of war during the Second World War.Austria's Anschluss - its 'annexation' - saw no gunfire, no bloodcurdling screams of Stukas overhead or the rumble of heavy artillery when German troops marched in on 12 March 1938. The Nazis were keen to exploit these assets and many Austrians benefited from increased employment. It was no 'Blitzkrieg' on the contrary, some Austrians even welcomed the 'invaders' and the opportunity to unite the ethnic German peoples under the rule of Austria's most infamous son, Adolf Hitler.Austria's wealth of natural and mineral resources were especially useful to support the Third Reich's aggression in Europe.
However, any initial euphoria was soon replaced by fear and anxiety as the brutal reality of the new regime became apparent.Here
