Description

Guerrilla warfare continued for more than a week near the Jugoslav border when the Austrian Nazis recently tried to overthrow the government. The rebels operated so near the border that it created a delicate situation for the regular government troops who had to keep their fire from crossing the border. Photo shows - Austrian and Jugoslavian troops discussing the position across the Austro-Jugoslav border. The Austrians asked permission to fire across the border if necessary and there were long parleys concerning this. The Jugoslav officers are pictured wearing light uniforms.Credit line (ACME) 8/7/34Stamp: ACME Newspictures, Inc.; Ref. Dept. Aug 13 1934 N. E. A.
