The young army lieutenant, in troduced by Karl W. Onthank, Dean of Personnel Administration, left the University in 1943 and saw abtion from Normandy to Berlin. It was of the summer of 1945 that he spoke, when his unit participat ed in the occupation of Austria. “Finding a subject for my talk was not easy,” Anderson said, “but the tasks of the G. I. in the occu pation of Europe seem to be of primary interest.” Germans Influence “Austria is a most misunder stood country surrounded by the conflicting political influences of a number of European countries,” Anderson declared.

The resources, he said, are moderate in both agriculture and industry but Austria relies on the Reich for existence. Attitude Aloof The people themselves, he con tinued, are fairly well educated, especially the city dwellers, but as in all European nations, there is a large group of peasant stock. The attitude of the Austrians to ward the Americans is one of aloof friendliness and yet, he continued, while seeming to be meek and sub missive, they appeared to have* something in the back of their minds. Even before the supposed “in vasion” of Austria, Anderson said, there was a strong nazi feeling and people were eager to become a part of the. Reich and of Hitler's new order. This, according to the speaker, was as early as 1937. And in 1939 when the Germans actually moved in Austria became a defin ite part of the Reich. Anderson described Austria’s contribution to the war effort Va the many factories producing goods for the German war ma chine. and the young men who willingly went into military service and developed crack units.
