Der Verfasser zeigt erstmals Zusammenhänge auf, die bisher nicht gesehen wurden. Die Verzahnung der österreichischen Frage mit der deutschen Frage und dem Kalten Krieg eröffnet ganz neue Perspektiven und macht die Entscheidungen in Bezug auf Österreich und den Staatsvertrag erst verständlich. (AUT)
Content:
In the "Moscow Declaration" of 1943 the Allies officially propagated the notion of Austria as the first victim of Hitlerite aggression and announced their intention to set up a "free and independent Austria" after the war, which finally happened in 1955. By questioning why it took so long to get to this point, the author addresses issues such as the victim thesis, Austrians as perpetrators, Austrian anti-Semitism and official attempts to mitigate its effects after the war. He discusses the various proposals for post-war Austria and connects for the first time the issues of Anschluss, German question, Cold War, and the State Treaty. He makes it clear that the question of Austria was from the very beginning inextricably linked with the more important question of Germany. (AUT)
