| Notes | Buttinger was a leader of the (outlawed) Austrian Revolutionary Socialists between 1934-1938 (Zacharasiewicz & Beer 2021, 21) before becoming part of the International Resuce Committee (Gardiner and Buttinger 152 in Birkle 2021, 150). He had collected 50,000 German and Austrian books esp. on social policy he later donated to the University libary of Klagenfurth (ibid, 156) and was the recipient of the "Austria's Great Golden Cross of Honor". As opposed to his teacher's, Otto Bauer's, tolerance of reformism, he was a convinced Marxist and uncompromising revolutionary. |
