from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vinzenz Waidacher (born July 19, 1900 in Mieders , Austria-Hungary ; † October 1941 ) was an Austrian SA standard leader and champion of National Socialism in Innsbruck . Waidacher was considered a close confidante of Gauleiter Franz Hofer and was the highest SA leader in the Gau Tirol-Vorarlberg until his death .

Life

Waidacher was leader of the Tyrolean SA Brigade even before Austria was "annexed" to the German Reich in 1938 . For example, on March 9, 1938, shortly before the Anschluss, he was arrested and taken into custody for illegal National Socialist activity. At the time of National Socialism, Waidacher gave ceremonial speeches at commemorations for the Höttinger Saalschlacht in 1932.

Together with other SA members, he was responsible for the violent persecution of several Jewish families during the November 1938 pogrom in Innsbruck .

Waidacher fell in October 1941. The composer Josef Eduard Ploner dedicated the 14th of his 15 Tyrolean fanfares to Waidacher after his death . Waidacher describes the dedication as a so-called " blood witness ".
