Hitler appoints Franz von Papen Austrian minister
Berlin July 27 AP Chancellor Hitler named conservative Vice Chancellor Franz Von Papen to become minister to Austria in a move intended to show the world Germany’s attitude toward Austria. Von Papen accepted the post and the appointment was framed as a request to President Hindenburg for consent. The post would remove Von Papen from the cabinet, and follows the Vienna vacancy created after Kurth Rieth’s withdrawal and Chancellor Dolfuss’s assassination.
