A Century Ago In Sarajevo: A Plot, A Farce And A Fateful Shot

(June 27, 2014)

Also, the people in charge of the archduke‘s visit decided that it was a good idea to publish the motorcade route in advance. (…)

There were seven of them along the parade route, carrying bombs and guns. Most chickened out altogether.

Nedeljko Cabrinovic was one exception. He threw a bomb and missed, wounding an official in the motorcade behind the archduke.

Franz Ferdinand ordered the driver to stop. He got out and walked back to inspect the damage and the wounded people.

(…)

Afterward, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne got back into his motorcade with his wife, Sophie. They had decided to visit the hospital to see the people who were wounded in the bomb attack.

But no one told the driver.

At that fateful intersection, the car was supposed to go straight — but it turned right. A general in the motorcade shouted, „You‘re going the wrong way!“

And the driver stopped the car … right in front of assassin number seven.

Gavrilo Princip, who had missed his chance the first time, was standing on the sidewalk 4 feet away from the car — at the only place on the route where the car stopped.

Attentat von Sarajevo: „Wir werden heut‘ noch ein paar Kugerln bekommen“

(27.5.2014) Gegen 10.50 Uhr kam der Wagen vor dem Feinkostgeschäft „Moritz Schiller“ an der Kreuzungsecke zum Stehen – der Fahrer war inzwischen auf seinen Irrtum aufmerksam gemacht worden und wollte wenden.

Ein Kunde des Spezereiwarenladens konnte dagegen sein Glück kaum fassen. Voller Enttäuschung wollte sich ausgerechnet hier Gavrilo Princip, Attentäter Nummer Fünf, eine kleine Stärkung kaufen. Und nun hielt plötzlich Franz Ferdinand direkt vor seinem Pistolenlauf – wie auf dem Präsentierteller.
