The Austrian Nazis have received an order from Munich to send Nazi detachments to the Austro-German frontier in order to prevent refugees from Germany, particularly Jews, crossing into Austria. The order requests explicitly that no exceptions should be made in the case of Jews.
It is alleged here that the Austrian Nazis are collaborating closely with the German Nazis in their activities against the German Jews. So that while the Hitlerist Government is unable, on political grounds, to legislate officially against Jews, they are seeking the aid of the Austrian Nazis in putting into effect a virtual ban on German Jewish refugees.
