Page "Gustav Schwarzenegger" Paragraph 3
from
Wikipedia
According to documents obtained in 2003 from the Austrian State Archives by the Los Angeles Times, which was after the expiration of a 30-year seal of his records under Austrian privacy law, Gustav Schwarzenegger voluntarily applied to join the Nazi Party on March 1, 1938, two weeks before the country was annexed.
A separate record obtained by the Wiesenthal Center indicates he sought membership before the annexation but was only accepted one day of January, 1941.
He also applied to become a member of the Sturmabteilung ( SA ), the NSDAP's paramilitary wing, on May 1, 1939, the year after the annexation of Austria, at a time when SA membership was declining.
The troops had 900, 000 members in 1940, down from 4. 2 million in 1934 which was mostly due to the outbreak of the second world war.
