| Notes | From the summer of 1945, the Pictorial Section was central in propagating the mission and politics of the Marshall plan by supplying the newly established Austrian newspapers with free pictorial material. As a part of the US Allied Commission for Austria (USACA) (which answered to the Supreme Command of the US Armed Forces in Austria) its activities were based on the interests of US foreign policy. Over 1,800 ECA pictures per month were taken to fulfil the section's duty of extensively informing the Austrian public of the ECA's mission and practice. |
