Due to the quality of the attacking players of the Sturm series in Nuremberg with Ernst Lehner , Otto Siffling , Hans Berndt , Ernst Kuzorra and Josef Fath , as well as the connection of Austria on March 12, 1938 with the additional Viennese player reserve, Heibach was no longer appointed to the international team.
