Allied Commission for Austria

Abstract: At a meeting on November 12, 1948, members of the Allied Commission considered the Austrian Chancellor's letter concerning the abduction on November 5 of Dr. Margarethe Ottillinger, a high Austrian official of the Ministry of Property Control and Economic Planning who had been detained by Soviet forces at the Enns bridge demarcation line between the United States and Soviet zones. The Chancellor pointed out that this was a serious interference with the functioning of the Austrian Government and requested the Commission to obtain her release. The Soviet High Commissioner (Kurasov) declared that this, as well as other abductions of federal officials by the Soviet authorities, was within the exclusive competence of the Soviet Command and that Dr. Ottillinger had been working against Soviet occupation forces. The Soviet explanation of the case was not accepted by the three other high commissioners.
