The
last fully fledged Army List of the Austrian Army known as the "Schematismus
für das Österreichische Bundesheer und die Bundesheeresverwaltung" was
published in April 1937. A 1938 edition was never published due to the
Annexation of Austria by Germany the following April although a seniority list
or Rangliste was prepared. Like its predecessors in the Austro-Hungarian Army
the Schematismus lists the full order of battle of the then extant units and
gives a complete roster by seniority and also in service position of every
serving Officer and career Senior NCO. The following article will show the
principal higher formations, Regiments and independent Battalions and their
Commanding Officers. Also shown will be the Principal Staff officers including
the Chiefs of Staff of Divisions and Independent Brigades. The Austrian
Bundesheer at this time consisted of some seven Infantry and one Motorized
Division plus one further independent Brigade. The then Federal Chancellor, Kurt
Schuschnigg simultaneously held the appointment of Minister for Defence and the
day to day running of the Army was in the capable hands of the State Secretary
for Defence; General der Infanterie Wilhelm Zehner (shown to the left). The
Inspector General of Troops was General der Infanterie Sigismund Schilawsky.
