Police Chief Inspector Josef Brettauer supported a monarchist-oriented resistance group in Schwaz. He died on 12.6.1942 from several strokes caused by his imprisonment. On 16.11.2005, the city council of Schwaz, following an initiative by teachers, individuals and relatives of victims, inspired by the artist Franz Wassermann, decided to erect a memorial plaque for victims of the NS euthanasia and Josef Brettauer. An official unveiling of the plaque at the entrance to the city park probably did not take place. As the text referring to the NS euthanasia was incorrect, it was removed in 2023.
