"The National Socialist Party in Austria never tried to hide its inclination for a greater Germany"
- Arthur Seyss-Inquart
About this Quote
This quote by Arthur Seyss-Inquart is describing the National Socialist Party in Austria, which was a reactionary political party that was active in Austria throughout the 1930s and 1940s. The party was carefully lined up with the Nazi Party in Germany and was a significant proponent of the Anschluss, the addition of Austria into Nazi Germany. Seyss-Inquart's quote suggests that the National Socialist Party in Austria was open and honest about its desire to sign up with a greater Germany. This remained in stark contrast to the Austrian government of the time, which was opposed to the Anschluss and sought to preserve Austria's independence. Seyss-Inquart's quote is a tip of the National Socialist Party's commitment to its cause and its willingness to honestly express its views, even in the face of opposition. It also serves as a reminder of the power of the Nazi Party and its capability to influence politics in Austria and beyond.
