The Heimwehr ((ドイツ語:Home Guard)) or sometimes Heimatschutz ((ドイツ語:Home Defense)) were a nationalist, initially paramilitary group operating within Austria during the 1920s and 1930s; they were similar in methods, organisation, and ideology to Germany's Freikorps. Although opposed to parliamentary democracy, the Heimwehr maintained a political wing known as the Heimatblock, which cooperated with Engelbert Dollfuss' conservative government. In 1936, the Heimwehr was usurped into the Fatherland Front on decree of Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg and replaced by a militia supposedly less inclined towards uproar against the regime, the ''Frontmiliz''. ==Origins and reorganization== Formed mainly from demobilised soldiers after World War I, the Heimwehr were initially formed as loosely organized militias to defend the borders of Austria. As with Germany's Freikorps, there was no formal national leadership or political program at the beginning, but rather local groupings which responded actively to whatever they considered to be ideologically unpalatable. In Carinthia, for example, they formed to protect their region from Slovene and Yugoslav troops. Ignaz Seipel, Christian Social Austrian Chancellor at the time, reorganized the Heimwehr as an "answer to the Socialist Schutzbund" in an attempt to curb socialist power. The increasing politicalization of militias led to the Heimwehr involvement in helping the police suppress the July Revolt of 1927. The most distinctive part of the ''Heimwehren'' uniforms was a green loden hat with the tail feather of a black grouse (which had earlier been the Symbol of the Tyrolean ''Kaiserschützen''). Therefore ''Heimwehr'' fighters were ridiculed by their opponents as "rooster tails" ''(Hahnenschwanzler)''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heimwehr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
