Official German and Austrian Statement on the equality of right of the Austrian National Socialists in Austria dated 18 February 1938.
On the basis of the agreement made between the Fuehrer and Reich chancellor and the Bundes chancellor Dr. Schuschnigg at Berchtesgaden on 12 February, the Austrian national socialist will now be in the position to be legally active within the Vater-laendische Front and all other Austrian organizations. However, these activities can only be pursued on the basis of the constitution which as heretofore includes political parties, in equalization with all other groups. Steps will be taken by the Reich in executing the existing prohibitional laws which will exclude an interference by party organs in internal Austrian conditions in order to contribute thus also toward the peaceful development.
