Bio of Leutnant der Reserve Alexander Lernet-Holenia

 

Alexander Lernet-Holenia (Vienna, October 21, 1897 — July 3, 1976) was an Austrian poet, novelist, dramaturgist and writer of screenplays and historical studies who produced a heterogeneous literary opus that included poetry, psychological novels describing the intrusion of otherworldly or unreal experiences into reality, and recreational films.

Lernet-Holenia was born in 1897, as Alexander Marie Norbert Lernet to Alexander Lernet (an ocean liner officer) who had married his mother Sidonie (née Holenia) shortly before his birth. He attached his mother's maiden name to his family name only when he was formally adopted by Carinthian relatives of his mother (whose aristocratic family had lost most of its wealth after the war) in 1920. In July 1915, Alexander finished high-school in Waidhofen an der Ybbs and took up Law studies at the University of Vienna, but volunteered for the Austro-Hungarian army in September 1915 and fought in World War I from 1916 onward, serving in the eastern battle theatres and ending the war as a lieutenant. During his service time he first took to poetry, and became a protégé of Rainer Maria Rilke in 1917.

After the war Lernet-Holenia became a full-time writer and published his first volume of poetry, Pastorale, in 1921 and his first drama, Demetrius, in 1925.

Lernet-Holenia participated in the Invasion of Poland as a reactivated and drafted lieutenant of the reserve, an experience on which he based his 1941 novel Die Blaue Stunde (The Blue Hour) which after the war became known under the title Mars im Widder (Mars in Aries). It has been called "the only Austrian resistance novel" because the plot features an ideologically troubled central character, hints at the existence of active political opposition, and because the Nazi government banned and quarantined the first edition of the book. His work was also part of the literature event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

Although Lernet-Holenia made himself a lucrative business as a popular screenplay writer during the Third Reich, he was one of the few accomplished Austrian authors who kept his distance from National Socialism, and refused to endorse the Nazi political system or to participate in its notorious blood and soil literary efforts. However, to stay in business he had to make arrangements with the regime, which included becoming chief dramaturgist at the "Heeres-Filmstelle" (the audiovisual media center of the Wehrmacht in Berlin, charged with producing propaganda films for military cinemas) after the Polish campaign. Robert Dassanowsky has stated that "[Lernet-Holenia's] early actions in the Reich were confused, appearing to vacillate between naiveté and the often clumsy, often shrewd acts of a survivalist ... a unique but not incomprehensible position." Lernet-Holenia became more outspoken as the war progressed. After his removal from his public position in 1944 he escaped service on the Eastern combat theatre through contrived illness and the help of the resistance network.

Being politically untainted, Lernet-Holenia's public recognition rose steeply once again after World War II, and he became an icon of the Austrian culture scenery. The year 1948 alone saw the casting of three films based on his novels, starring prominent actors such as Maria Schell and Attila Hörbiger. Together with Friedrich Torberg (and later with Günther Nenning) he co-edited the intellectual culture magazine Forum beginning in 1957. In 1969 he was elected president of the Austrian section of the PEN Club but resigned in 1972 in protest when the Nobel Prize was awarded to Heinrich Böll, whom Lernet-Holenia regarded as a supporter of the Red Army Faction.

Alexander Lernet had married Lernet-Holenia's mother (the widow Baroness Sidonie Boyneburgk-Stettfeld) only shortly before his birth. Rumors that attributed biological fatherhood to a Habsburg archduke were perpetuated by biographers throughout his life and afterwards but were never substantiated.

In 1923 Alexander Lernet-Holenia — originally a Protestant — converted to the Roman Catholic faith. He was married to Eva Vollbach and lived with her in St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut from 1926 until 1951 when the couple moved to Vienna. From 1952 until his death, he lived in state apartments in the imperial Hofburg Palace. Lernet-Holenia remained an outspoken political conservative and aristocratic elitist throughout his life, an attitude that brought him into increasing conflict with the leftist cultural scenery of the 1960s, earned him a reputation as the "difficult old man of Austrian literature," and pushed him into increasing isolation during his final years.

He died of lung cancer in 1976, two years after publishing his last novel Die Beschwörung (The Conjuration) under the pseudonym G. T. Dampierre.

A park in Vienna's Hernals district was named after Lernet-Holenia on 24 September 1999.

The International Alexander Lernet-Holenia Society (Internationale Alexander Lernent-Holenia Gesellschaft) founded in Vienna in 1998 promotes the study, translation and publication of the author's works. Italian writer Roberto Calasso, a Franz Kafka scholar whose own writings reference Central European identity themes and tensions, serves at the Society's president.

Bio of Generalleutnant Eduard Aldrian

Eduard Aldrian (born April 26, 1888 in Pula, Istria, † October 1, 1955 in Graz, Styria) was a lieutenant general of the German Wehrmacht from Austria in World War II.

Aldrian completed an officer training after attending school and was then an officer in the k.u.k. Infantry of the Joint Army of Austria-Hungary. After the end of the First World War, he was promoted to officer in the Federal Army of the Republic of Austria and the Ständestaates, and on June 26, 1936 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel.

After the annexation of Austria, Aldrian was taken over in the Wehrmacht on March 15, 1937 and assigned to the 35th observation battalion between June 5 and August 1, 1938. He was then commander of the 38th Mountain Observation Battalion from August 1, 1938 to October 25, 1939, and as such was promoted to colonel on August 1, 1939. He was commander of the 619th Special Artillery Regiment between October 25, 1939 and November 9, 1941, and artillery commander (Arko) 124 from November 9, 1941 to March 1, 1943. He was promoted to major general on September 1, 1942 . He was also acting commander of the 95th Infantry Division deployed in the southern section of the Eastern Front between February 8 and March 1, 1942 and again from July 20 to September 15, 1942. He was also acting commander of the 88th Infantry Division between October 19 and December 14, 1942.

Subsequently, from January 18 to February 19, 1943, Aldrian was the commander of the combat group named after him, Aldrian, and between March 1 and July 1, 1943, Higher Artillery Commander (HArko) 308, in which he served on June 1, 1943 was also promoted to lieutenant general. After he was temporarily in reserve, he took over from Lieutenant General Emil Zellner on August 5, 1943 as commanding officer of the 373rd (Croatian) Infantry Division and held this position until he was replaced by Colonel Karl Hermann on October 20 1944. From May 25 to June 6, 1944, he took part in the Operation Rösselsprung alongside the units of Colonel-General Lothar Rendulic, General of the Infantry Ernst von Leyser and SS-Oberführer Otto Kumm, the aim of which was to capture Josip Broz Tito to take or kill and thus weaken the leadership structures of the Yugoslav People's Liberation Army (JVBA).

After he was again in reserve from October 20, 1944 to January 20, 1945, he became Higher Artillery Commander 306. In May 1946 he was released from prison.

Leutnant August Ségur-Cabanac with his wife

Leutnant August Ségur-Cabanac (June 1, 1922, Mödling near Vienna - March 4, 2011, Vienna) with his wife in 1944

August Ségur-Cabanac was born on June 1, 1922 in Mödling near Vienna.

His great-great-grandfather August Franz Graf Ségur-Cabanac (1771–1847), who came from an old French family with a long military tradition, found refuge in Austria during the French Revolution and became the progenitor of the Austrian branch of the family. He started his career as a second lieutenant, distinguished himself as a major at Wagram in 1809, and in 1844 he achieved the rank of major general. His great-grandson August Ségur-Cabanac (1881-1931), lawyer and financial specialist, was Minister of Finance of the Republic of Austria from May to November 1922.

August Ségur-Cabanac graduated from Vienna in 1941 and was called up to the German Armed Forces immediately afterwards.

After his front assignment in spring and summer 1942, he graduated from the Dresden War School in the fall of that year.

This was followed - after being promoted to lieutenant in December 1942 - in the first months of 1943 by a company leadership course at the Döberitz infantry school. From April 15 he was deployed as a platoon leader and soon also as a company leader in the 156th Infantry Regiment in the southern section of the Eastern Front. On July 21, 1943, he was seriously wounded at Stalino. Reasonably restored after almost a year in hospital, he took part in the retreat in northern France and Belgium as far as Aachen as a company commander in the 116th Panzer Division in autumn 1944. Wounded again in the battle in the Hürtgenwald, he experienced the end of the war as a first lieutenant in a hospital.

As early as October 11, 1944, he had married Christine Bennier during a short front vacation.

In 1946 he got a job with the American occupation forces, but already in 1954 he registered for the B-gendarmerie. On October 1 of this year he was assigned to the Gendarmerie Oberleutnant at the Gendarmerie School Upper Austria III. From May 1955 he worked at the Gendarmerieabteilung K, which would later become the Military Academy, in Enns. As class officer, he took over class B until it was retired in January 1957, then class 13, which was retired in December of that year. Finally, he led the 3rd company of the Academic Battalion until its retirement in March 1959, which already took place in the old home of the Military Academy, in the castle in Wiener Neustadt. In these years he had already earned an army-wide reputation as a demanding but nevertheless popular instructor for his officer candidates as a first lieutenant. After he had taken over another year in 1959, he was called up for the 3rd general staff course in December of that year. He completed this course with rank 1.

Already during his practical use in the training department of the Federal Ministry of Defense in 1962, he was commissioned to publish a specialist magazine. He founded the "Troop Service" working group to publish the magazine with their support. He thus became the founder of the training magazine "Troop Service", which soon became one of the most renowned publications in the field of military training.

After he was taken on as a major of the general staff in the higher service on December 15, 1962, he was assigned as a tactics teacher at the Theresian military academy. Relocated to the operations department on May 15, 1965, he worked on seven possible operations there. That happened for the first time in the second army and decisively determined the deployment planning of the army for the following years. On December 12, 1967 he was transferred to Group Command I as G 3. Under the chief of the Colonel, Colonel Karl Wohlgemuth, he was involved in the planning of the security measures during the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops into Czechoslovakia in 1968, as well as in the preparation and execution of the largest military maneuver to date known as "Bärentatze" in the autumn 1969.

As early as 1968 he was promoted to colonel of the general staff. From March 22, 1971 to March 19, 1973, he was chief of staff of the Vienna Military Command and then deputy head of the organization department of the ministry. On March 19, 1973, he became head of the training department, during which he took numerous initiatives in all areas of military training and further education over the following eight years. In 1980 he became a brigadier. As his last assignment in active service, he assumed command of the 1st Panzer Grenadier Division in Baden, now as a divisional. He led this association from November 1, 1982 until his retirement on November 1, 1987. Shortly before, he was promoted to general in recognition of his services to the army.

August Ségur-Cabanac died on March 4, 2011 and rests in the family grave in Mödling.

His sons Christian Ségur-Cabanac and René Segur-Cabanac also opted for a military career, as did his grandson Philipp.
