Description
This photo, taken during the last desperate stand of the Austrian Nazis who fought a retiring action with government troops in Carinthia, show government troops at a captured Nazi headquarters at Volkermarkt. The government troops had cornered the Nazi rebels within a stone’s throw of Jugoslavia, but were afraid to fire because of the Jugoslav frontier.Credit line (ACME) 8/8/34Stamp: ACME Newspictures, Inc.; Ref.
