Anderson Says German Influences Dominate
Austrian Political Concepts, Cultural Ideoloov
By Dorothy Thomson
The novelty of a student speaker
was experienced by the audience
at the ASUO assembly yesterday
morning at McArthur court when
Lester Anderson, former student
body head, spoke on his impres
sions of occupied Austria.
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. A fact not
generally known is that the Ger
man influence is prevalent in lang
uage, culture, buildings, music, art,
industry, and agriculture as well
as political concepts, he said.
Anderson described Austria as
having about four major cities
with Vienna a cultural center com
parable to Paris as the center of
France. 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.
Austria’s present status is coi
