Austria was far behind the lines of belligerent Germany and the reaction of Austrian civilians to the Moscow Declaration was twofold. On one hand, people made a false conclusion that the status of "the first victim" would help Austria avoid allied bombings. On the other hand, "Moscow" in the title was unmistakably associated not with the western allies, but with uncompromising Bolshevism. The people, as a whole, were indifferent to the news and did not support any anti-Hitler opposition groups. During 1943–1944 the number of arrests increased, but 80% of arrested were foreign workers, whose number was 140 thousand in Vienna alone. During 1944, as the military and economic landscape got worse, dissatisfaction increased among Austrians too, but not with the Hitler regime, but with the stream of refugees, especially Protestants, from the North. Internal conflicts did not undermine the fighting spirit of the nation. Quite the contrary, the success of the Allies and reactivation of air bombings of Austria only consolidated its population around the figure of the Fuehrer. During the unsuccessful 20 July plot people of Vienna fully supported Hitler.
