Abstract

32 6 AUSTRIAN HISTORY YEARBOOK 34 (2003) especially when he claims that every assassination needs a political background (7). This view does not stand up if we look for instance at John W.

The author's position that all assassins "believe that God is on their side" ("Alle aber glauben sie, Gott auf ihrer Seite zu haben" [12]) is untenable. God and religion defi- nitely did not play any role in the world of ideas of the anarchists Anton Kammerer and Hermann Stellmacher (55-66), Adler, or the Dollfufi murderers.
