During the interwar period in Austria, the "Heimatschutz" concept was adopted by paramilitary "Heimwehr" forces, first in the Austro-Slovene conflict in Carinthia at the end of the World War I. Upon the 1930 legislative election, their "Heimatblock" organisation became part of the Austrian government and later was merged into the Fatherland Front, the austrofascist single party. After the "Anschluss" annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938, the "Vaterländische Front" was disbanded; several "Heimwehr" members were deported to concentration camps by the SA and later the SS. By the cultural policy of the German regime, a "Blood and Soil" ideology in literature and film was promoted as an integral part of Nazi propaganda.
