Resistance Fighter

"Resistance Fighter: Anti-Nazi Terror Tactics of the Austrian Underground" by Kurt von Steiner, published by Paladin Press. He’s cool, he’s ruthless, he’s deadly. The resistance fighter has no constraints…he meets fire with fire. In a dramatic firsthand account as relevant today as then, Kurt von Steiner details the underground battle against the brutal Nazi occupiers of Vienna. From pranksters to killers, the resistance evolved under the pressure of the escalating Nazi terror. In the beginning, homemade stink bombs broke up Nazi rallies and meetings; coffee laced with laxatives and potent unripe wine was fed to unsuspecting soldiers; the Austrian flag and symbols were prominently displayed; and numerous pranks simply made the Nazis look like fools. But soon the resistance had graduated to serious Nazi hunting. Through arson, torture and assassination with improvised weapons – fencing foils covered with barbed wire, garrotes, newspaper daggers, makeshift firebombs – the resistance fighters made the Nazis pay dearly for their presence. Full of authentic information on the underground’s organization. Book details: 124 pages, published 1986. Order now on BookShops.in with fast, reliable delivery across India.
