Biography
Edmund Glaise von Horstenau, also known as Edmund Glaise-Horstenau (27 February 1882 â 20 July 1946) was an Austrian Nazi politician who became the last vice-chancellor of Austria, appointed by Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg under pressure from Adolf Hitler, shortly before the 1938 Anschluss. During the Second World War, Glaise-Horstenau became a General der Infanterie in the German Wehrmacht and served as Plenipotentiary General to the Independent State of Croatia. Dismayed by the atrocities committed by the UstaÅ¡e, he was involved in the LorkoviÄ-VokiÄ plot, with the purpose of overthrowing Ante PaveliÄ's regime and replacing it with a pro-Allied government. Removed from his post in September 1944, he was captured at the end of the war and committed suicide while in custody.
