life and work
Anderle was a functionary of the Communist Party of Austria , was arrested in January 1942 and sentenced to death by the People's Court on November 27, 1943 for “preparing for high treason ” and “favoring the enemy” . From the judgment of the People's Court:
- “The defendants [Therese] Klostermann , the Heindl brothers [ Franz Heindl and Michael Heindl ], Franz Hauer , [Franz] Anderle and [Max] Schrems are because they tried until the end of 1942 as functionaries of the Communist Party to disintegrate the home front who fell in the back of the hard-fighting front. Such deeds can only be atoned for with death. The National Socialist state would give up itself if it did not permanently exclude people who were consciously working for communism in the fourth year of the war from the German national community.
