WehrverbändeParamilitary Forces, armed military organisations that existed in Austria from 1918-1936 and seriously aggravated its already precarious domestic political situation. Paramilitary forces were the Republikanischer Schutzbund, the Heimwehr, the Ostmärkische Sturmscharen and the NSDAP units (Sturmabteilung, SA and Schutzstaffel, SS) formed after 1922. The Paramilitary forces were dissolved in 1933 and 1936, the members of the Heimwehr units were free to join the "Frontmiliz" (Front Militia) of the Fatherland Front. Literature: H. G. W. Nusser, Konservative Wehrverbände in Bayern, Preußen und Österreich, 21990.
