Abstract
Description
All trains and automobiles in Germany were stopped and searched on July 25, ostensibly for concealed weapons, propaganda material, and indications of Communist activity; according to a rumor which cannot be verified, Premier [Engelbert] Dollfuss had received documents purporting to be evidence that Hitler was of Jewish origin; the documents had been published in Austrian and Swiss newspapers; the object of the search was to prevent any of these newspapers from coming into Germany.
