...Ardent Teuton longings for a union with Italy (and "revenge" on France) caused German newsorgans of all sorts to chime in. "The French treat the Chancellor of Austria like a Negro chieftain!" stormed Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. "Nobody protested," cried the Catholic Reichspost, "when in 1932 Czechoslovakia sent to Jugoslavia through Austria enough arms alone to equip several army corps!"
