At the beginning people said: "The
Legionaries are breaking in".

2
00:00:06.250 --> 00:00:10.090 align:middle line:90%
All of them were local young people who
went to Germany

3
00:00:12.010 --> 00:00:17.070 align:middle line:90%
before the Anschluss. It was all paid
for.

4
00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:24.000 align:middle line:90%
My father's brother, who was an
innkeeper,

5
00:00:25.070 --> 00:00:33.150 align:middle line:90%
had four children. All of them were –
what were they called – illegal Nazis.

6
00:00:34.110 --> 00:00:37.070 align:middle line:90%
That was one of Hitler's associations.

7
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.190 align:middle line:90%
First they were sort of hidden so that
one didn't know...

8
00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:47.240 align:middle line:90%
but then they got stronger and stronger.

9
00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:51.280 align:middle line:90%
And somehow they must have been... they
were financed by Germany.

10
00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:56.060 align:middle line:90%
They had orders to harm  the Austrian
economy at all levels

11
00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:05.010 align:middle line:90%
– my own cousin told me that!

12
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:09.230 align:middle line:90%
So that we would get worn down for the
Anschluss!

13
00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:14.170 align:middle line:90%
That's the way politics worked. And that
is also what happened.

14
00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:19.260 align:middle line:90%
That's how politics worked. Even though
I'm not a politician myself – that's
the way it was.

15
00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:28.150 align:middle line:90%
If you're worn down, have no work or
anything else - the same thing would
happen today.

16
00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:32.050 align:middle line:90%
You'll go to where you find work and
bread.
