Adolf Hitler, who combines in his single person the roles of Chancellor (Premier) and Reichsführer or Realmleader (a modernized euphemism for King), was met on the station platform in Rome last week by Il Re Vittorio Emanuele and II Duce Benito Mussolini.

Then he added, "Austria will stand or fall with her special German mission! Austria has declared herself to be a German State." In words not pleasing to the ears of pagan, Jew-baiting, Communist-hating Nazis, the Chancellor continued: "We are a Christian State, a German State...
...twelve years ago accepted the role of protector of Austrian independence, called Vienna by telephone and told Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg that all was at an end between them, Austria must throw herself on Adolf Hitler's mercy. So Schuschnigg crossed the border, to Bavaria, and at the Fuhrer's mountain chalet was shown into a room where he was left alone to read a set of German General Staff plans for the invasion of Austria.
