Fritz Bock (26 February, 1911 – 12 December 1993) was an Austrian politician notable for having co-founded the Austrian People's Party in 1945 and having been Vice-Chancellor of Austria from 1966 to 1968.[1][2]
During the dictatorial government of Kurt Schuschnigg, Bock was responsible for anti-Nazi propaganda as propaganda director of the Fatherland Front. He was also involved in organizing the referendum on maintaining Austrian independence. After the annexation of Austria, Bock was arrested on 15 March 1938 and was taken to Dachau concentration camp. However, he was released on health grounds in 1939.
