Apparently about half the Veterans deposited all their bonds intact, many intending to collect 3% interest until 1945.

Last week the same young man was ignominiously booted out as Vice Chancellor, his private army was ordered disbanded and he lost the leadership of the Fatherland Front. Angry and vengeful at this sudden turn of affairs, he went to the Vienna South Station, entrained for Rome. Scarcely had his train pulled out than the final insult fell: by order of bespectacled Federal Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg the swashbuckling Prince was made Patron of the Fatherland Front's Mother's Help Section...
