Hitler's Austria : Popular Sentiment in the Nazi Era, 1938-1945

Using evidence gathered in Europe and the United States, Evan Bukey crafts a nuanced portrait of popular opinion in Austria, Hitler's homeland, after the country was annexed by Germany in 1938. He demonstrates that despite widespread dissent, discontent and non-compliance, a majority of the Austrian populace supported the Anschluss regime - particularly in its economic, social and anti-Semitic policies - until the bitter end.
