Note	"Following World War II, American-Soviet military relations in Vienna were never more than tolerable and, over time, rapidly declined. Beginning in 1945, US Army efforts to improve the situation in Vienna evoked deep suspicion and resistance on the part of the Soviets. In addition, Soviet black market activities proved endemic, producing a barrier to sound American-Soviet relations. Most troubling, Soviet state security organs sought out and abducted a variety of individuals. By 1949, after the probable Soviet murder of an American government official and Soviet harassment of American operations in the city, the US Army's Counter-Intelligence Corps began to conduct operations aimed at the Soviets. The above difficulties occured at a location that was of secondary importance to the Superpowers. Significance: this essay suggests that in a location where American and Soviet personnel came into direct sustained contact, tensions could only have been avoided with constant pressure from above, and most likely not at all."
