A most interesting account of the period immediately preceeding the 1938 Anschluss in Austria, and of the subsequent experiences of the author in escaping from Nazi tyranny. Although the popular view is that Austria enthusiastically joined Germany, this book provides evidence that considerable numbers of Austrians resisted.

This book was published in German in 2008 and in English in 2012. It is the memoir of the Austrian Chancellor's son, who was born in 1926 and so was only about 12 when Hitlet marched into Austria in March of 1938. He tells of what befell him after the takeover.

The son's experiences in the German Navy and in the hectic days of 1945 are recounted in much detail (how could he recall all that detail, one wonders) culminating in an almost incredible trip through the snow into Switzerland. I found it aborbing reading and, as with many accounts of struggles with Nazis, had to assure myself that he did survive despite all the troubles he went through.… (meer)
