Curriculum Vitae
Johanna Josefa Ettenauer was born in Vienna as the illegitimate daughter of Johanna Ettenauer and Paul Frauer. After completing her schooling, she became a seamstress
Since the age of 14, she was close friends with Aloisia Kellner. In addition to their Catholic faith, both were united by their opposition to National Socialism. On March 12, 1938, Johanna Ettenauer witnessed the demise of free and independent Austria with the invasion of the German Wehrmacht. In June 1938, she received the anti-Nazi poem 'Prayer', written by Aloisia Wottle, from her friend Aloisia Kellner.
Prayer
Almighty there above the stars, heal Hitler from his megalomania, and make that in not too distant days, Austria can breathe again.
Heal Hitler from his superstition that law and violence are the same thing, and that through terror, murder and robbery, a peaceful brother country can be liberated.
Heal Hitler and let him finally realize that the screamers in Austria, who are running through the streets like blind hordes, are just immature school politicians.
Hail Hitler to the point where he at least realizes that Austria is far from being Prussia, and that despite the swastika flag, it still does not forget its culture.
Hail Hitler and his party comrades, clear their minds, soften their hearts, that the blood of our chancellor has not flowed uselessly for an independent Austria.
Comrade!
If the German salute is obligatory today, do not be put off by it in the future. Because, if you think of this poem, you can greet Heil Hitler with a smile on your face.
According to the findings of the state police, her conduct endangers the existence and security of the people and the state, in that she has engaged in anti-state activities by disseminating inflammatory writings and her conduct gives rise to the fear that she will continue her anti-state activities upon her release.
For the record. Heydrich
