Abstract

For the mass deportations of Austrian Jews to the occupied East, the authors emphasize that Eichmann's Central Office acted in close cooperation with the Vienna Gestapo. Established after the annexation by Nazi Germany in March 1938, with 900 employees the Gestapo headquarters in Vienna was the largest regional office after the Berlin headquarters in Greater Germany. The Gestapo section II B 4, responsible for Jews, organized the first major actions under the twenty-eight-year-old Rudolf Lange and deported 1,202 so-called undesirable Jews to the Dachau concentration camp on 31 May and 3 June 1938.
