 Engelbert Dollfuss 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Engelbert Dollfuss was murdered by Nazi agents - it makes us realize that this victim of National Socialism deserves to be placed on a pedestal as one of the very great leaders of the twentieth century - and possibly one of the finest Catholic statesmen of all time.
Dollfuss was never tempted to delusional notions of the significance of the nation, to the grand-scale national egotism that so often masqueraded as patriotism - usually to the ruin of the actual concrete nation.
The patriotism which Dollfuss championed and attempted to awaken throughout his countrymen in his short term of office in many ways resembled the proud particularism one finds among those mountain cantons - a human sized loyalty to genuine human goods, instead of a grandiose attachment to fetishes of gigantism.

 DOLLFUSS: An Austrian Patriot, by Fr Johannes Messner
Dollfuss was one of the few political leaders of the day who saw with matchless clarity the evil of the National Socialist philosophy and who, in spite of the weakness of his country, which had been largely dismembered in the wake of World War I, became a new David confronting a new Goliath, Adolf Hitler.
Dollfuss was much loved by those who understood that he was their friend: as a Catholic, as an Austrian patriot, as one of "them." But his very goodness and his political clear- sightedness were bound to trigger the hatred of those who had endorsed evil causes: be it National Socialism, Communism, or Liberalism.
Dollfuss, the modern David, knew that he was fighting a Goliath, but, like the man who was to become a great king to his people, he put all his confidence in God and used all the means at his disposal to save his country from the severe crises which confronted it during his brief Chancellorship.

 Dollfuss: An Austrian Patriot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
From his early years in the University, Engelbert Dollfuss was attempting to salvage what he could of the national heritage by uniting in a common cause what he considered to be the best elements in his nation, young Catholic intellectuals in the universities, farmers, and common workers in the trades.
Having not yet completed his studies at the University, Dollfuss obtained his first significant post in the Lower Austrian Peasants' Union, in which he attempted to organize the peasants to protect them against the inroads of Marxism and to begin a corporative reconstruction of Austrian rural life.
What Engelbert Dollfuss realized was that the only way that you can confront and, finally, overcome militant ideologies, which present a systematic and comprehensive view of the world for their adherence (e.g., National Socialism and Marxism), is to formulate an equally coherent and systematic system of thought, which would be both comprehensive and practical.

 Austria Torn by Dissension & flaming with hatred by Gareth Jones, 1934
These troops gave a superficial impression of strength and loyalty to the Dollfuss régime, but beneath the surface there is no land so tragically torn by dissension and so flaming with hatred and with the longing for revenge as Austria today.
In spite of the deep human feeling which has been felt for Dollfuss, there is strong opposition within the country to the policy which his Government has pursued and which Herr Schuschnigg, the new Chancellor, is pursuing.
The Nazis are strong throughout the country, although the savagery of the murder of Dollfuss and the failure of the secret Storm Troopers to rise through the country have caused a set-back, but, I believe, a temporary set-back.

In the discussion in Bayreuth, Hitler put it to me that I was the only available person who could re-establish a favourable situation in Austria, because, of course, Hitler knew my attitude towards that problem, from the numerous protests I had raised in the cabinet against Austria's treatment.
I replied that the whole [Page 300] world was in any case convinced of the complicity of the Party or its organizations, generally speaking; and that as far as I was concerned, it was only important that those connections should be broken off forthwith.
After the Dollfuss murder, the danger existed that Germany would fail to achieve her main foreign political aim of accomplishing the desired unity.

The Radio Building in the centre of the town was overwhelmed, and the announcer was compelled to broadcast the news that Dollfuss had resigned and that Dr. Rintelen had taken his place as Chancellor.
It may be that Dr. Rieth was himself not personally sympathetic with the plans for the 'putsch,' but there is no question that he was fully familiar with all these plans, and must have given his assent thereto and connived therein.
The marchers were met at the Chancellery by Reichsstatthalter Seyss-Inquart, who addressed them and unveiled a memorial cabinet from the "Reichsstatthalterei," the "Standarte." That is the SS organisation which made the original attack and which marched on this occasion four years later.

 Chapter Thirty-One, THE SPREAD OF FASCISM
Connected to this second division were the governmental forces under Dollfuss which were interested in a revival of a greater Austria, and which wanted to maintain Austrian independence.
The leaders of the socialists did not wish to fight, but they were compelled to make some show of resistance, not only because of their previous revolutionary phrase-mongering which had compromised them, but also because they actually held the power in Vienna, and no bureaucracy will relinquish its sinecures without struggle.
No doubt the socialist leaders believed that Dollfuss would spare them if they behaved in such a foolish manner and that as soon as the co-operative houses were surrounded they could beg their socialist workers to yield on the ground that they were overwhelmed by superior force.
