Austria Becomes Part of Germany in Nazi Union
News from Vicens reports Austria ceased to be an independent nation and joined Adolf Hitler's German Reich. President Miklas resigned, Seyss-Inquart assumed control, and Vienna awaited Hitler’s return. The border with Germany vanished as Austria unified, with plebiscite planned for April 10 and integration into Germany's economy and military. France and Britain react, seeking to preserve Czechoslovakia and Central Europe from further German expansion.
