Rebellion in Vienna Collapses as Government Gains Ground
Vienna reports the Socialist revolt against Chancellor Dollfuss’s government faltered in the capital while continuing in provinces. Two thousand Socialists surrendered at Laaberg, and Steyr was reportedly surrounded as Heimwehr led by Prince Ernst von Starhemberg faced government troops. The Goethe Hof district yielded to artillery, revealing only women and children in the garrison. Government forces conducted systematic mop up campaigns, moving square by square through the Socialist areas as fighters fled to the countryside. The government planned further operations through villages and toward Linz to crush remaining Socialist resistance.
