Austro German Pact Believed Deeply Reshapes Austria
Berlin reports show Austria's pro Nazi Minister of the Interior discussing with Adolf Hitler to tighten the alignment with Germany. It is unclear if Hitler seeks Austrian withdrawal from the League of Nations or adherence to an anti-communist pact. Officials caution that a league withdrawal could come after talks with Italy's Mussolini in the spring. Diplomats monitor the influence as French and British officials express alarm over potential consequences in North Africa and Europe.
