This is a short commentary on a current situation/news that is related to Austrian Military History. On the 4th of July 2017, the Austrian government announced that it will ready troops to be sent to the Austro-Italian border in order to secure it, due to the large amount of migrants crossing into Austria. The Italian government wasn’t particularly pleased about this action. Additionally, at least the German media seems to be a bit upset as well. » HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT MILITARY HISTORY VISUALIZED « (A) You can support my channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv (B) You can support me via Paypal donations: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY (C) You can also buy "Spoils of War" (merchandise) in the online shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop » SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS « facebook: https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ twitter: https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized tumblr: http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ » SOURCES « Österreichische Soldaten sollen Brennerpass kontrollieren http://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2017-07/fluechtlingskrise-oesterreich-grenzkontrolle-brenner-hans-peter-doskozil Unsolidarisch, unerträglich – EU http://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2017-07/fluechtlingspolitik-brenner-oesterreich-italien-eu-grenzen Heer am Brenner: Diplomatische Krise zwischen Wien und Rom http://diepresse.com/home/ausland/eu/5246555/Fluechtlingskrise_Heer-am-Brenner_Diplomatische-Krise-zwischen Assistenzeinsatz Grenzraumüberwachung https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistenzeinsatz_Grenzraum%C3%BCberwachung 15 Jahre Assistenzeinsatz zur Grenzraumüberwachung http://www.bundesheer.at/truppendienst/ausgaben/artikel.php?id=356 11 Jahre Grenzraumüberwachung - eine Chronologie http://www.bundesheer.at/cms/artikel.php?ID=2083 Der sicherheitspolizeiliche Assistenzeinsatz im Burgenland https://www.truppendienst.com/themen/beitraege/artikel/der-sicherheitspoli
