Unholy experiment – Communists in Austria: to the last stand

Date:

The communists are at large in Austria: Graz with the dark red mayor Elke Kahr, KPÖ city leader in Salzburg in March? The ‘unholy experiment’ in analysis.

The icy wind blows across Vienna’s Ringstrasse on this gray and rainy November 12, 1918. It is the historic hour of the revolution. The centuries-old Habsburg empire is sinking into history. Workers wave a banner: “Hail the Socialist Republic.”

Some break away from the crowd and climb onto the parapet in front of Parliament. They break down the red-white-red flag, cut out the white stripe and hoist the red flag. Nine days after their formation in Favoriten, the communists openly showed their cruel intentions with this spectacular action.
