Ethnic Germans in the Banat: Forgotten — Yet Timely—History By Stefan Bastius. “During the revolutionary fights of 1848 in Werschetz, Pantschowa, Weisskirchen and also near Temesvar until the defeat of the rebellious Hungarians at Vilagos on August 13, 1849, the Swabians were on the side of the Hungarians—thus, against the Austrians. Vienna, obviously afraid of Hungarian nationalism, preferred to take the Swabians as allies, without discerning the consequences that would follow.” [source: Barnes Review Magazine Jan/Feb 2003].
