Joseph EISENBAUER.Un Autrichien dans les Brigades.

Gert Hoffman writes with sad news: This is to announce that Josef “Joschi” Eisenbauer, one of the three surviving Austrian brigadistas died on December 10.  He was one of the more than 1400 Austrians who had gone to defend the Spanish Republic. He went to Spain in 1937, was a member of the XIIIth and XIth International Brigades, was wounded and taken to the hospital in Benicásim.  Evacuated to France and from there to Soviet Union, where he worked during World War II as an instructor for German prisoners of war and returned to Austria in 1946. He was an active fighter against fascism until the end.
