AN OFFICIAL
BEWERBUNGSFRAGEBOGEN OR NAZI LONG-FORM PERSONAL QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE WIFE OF A BLOOD ORDER RECIPIENT |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Immediately following the Anschluß or reunification of Austria with Germany in Großdeutschland (Greater Germany), the Reichsstatthalter (the highest civil authority in the Gau) sent questionnaires from his office in Wien (Vienna, the second largest city in the Reich) to all known Nazi Party members in Austria in an effort to utilize them in the Nazification of the country. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This Bewerbungsfragebogen consists of a folder of four pages each measuring 8-1/4 x 11-5/8 inches (A4) and two separate letters of the same size (six pages in all). This questionnaire was completed on 22 August 1938 by Vienna resident Sophie Polacek, a Nazi Party member, and the wife of a Nazi Party member who participated with Hitler and Göring in the Putsch in München (Munich) on 9 November 1923 and was awarded the Blutorden or Blood Order of the NSDAP Movement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
