The Deutsch Schützen massacre was a 1945 mass killing of at least 57 Hungarian Jewish forced laborers by the Waffen-SS in Deutsch Schützen-Eisenberg in Austria. The Hitler Youth-Bannführer Alfred Weber, who was responsible for construction in Deutsch Schützen, gave the order for the massacre. At the old church, Martinskirche, in the farmland on the west side of Deutsch Schützen, a plaque was erected on the exterior of the building memorializing those murdered in the massacre.
