Gavrilo Princip was said to be part of a world-wide plot by the
Freemasons. Erich von Ludendorff, the Chief of the German Staff, called
Princip a “Jew” and alleged that he was part of a Freemason plot in
collusion with Austrian, German, and Hungarian Freemasons. Julius
Streicher’s official Nazi Party periodical Volkischer Beobachter in a
January 8, 1936 article stated that Princip was “a Jew and a Freemason”.
On April 6, 1941, on the occasion of the German invasion of Yugoslavia, Adolf Hitler, Austrian by birth, alleged that Gavrilo Princip was part of a plot organized by the British Intelligence Service and held Serbia responsible for the assassination.

During the trial of Archduke Ferdinand's killer, Gavrillo Princep

Freemason" and "on another occasion told me that the Heir Apparent
had been condemned to death by a Freemason's lodge." Moreover,
another of the accused assassins, Chabrinovitch, testified that Major
Tankositch, one of the plotters, was a Freemason.
