Introduction

Almost every Austrian unit obeyed its orders to offer no resistance to the incoming German forces. But at Bregenz, at the far western end of Austria, the garrison's officers could not abide Nazi rule. When Germans came marching on the small city expecting the flower-bearing maidens found elsewhere, the 6th Division met them with bullets.

Conclusion

Only after receiving a direct order from the Defense Ministry did the jägers stand down from their defense of Bregenz. It would be the last official combat action for Austrian forces.

The movement allowance on the counters in Airborne is misprinted. It should be "3."
