| − | '''Arthur Seyss-Inquart''' (22 July 1892 – 16 October 1946) was a Nazi politician who served as Chancellor of Austria before the Anschluss. He remained a puppet of Hitler throughout the war. Inquart authorized about 800 executions, although some reports put the total at over 1,500, including executions under the so-called "Hostage Law", the death of political prisoners who were close to being liberated. It is believed that Inquart met with [[Mohammed Amin Al-Husseini]] to talk about collaboration. <ref>https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/MAGAZINE-revealed-photos-of-palestinian-mufti-visiting-nazi-germany-1.5483980</ref> | + | '''Arthur Seyss-Inquart''' (July 22, 1892 – October 16, 1946) was a Nazi politician who served as Chancellor of [[Austria]] before the Anschluss.
