Behind patrols of tanks, armored cars and motorcycles mounting machine guns and antitank guns, 40,000 German soldiers riding in trucks, clinking their metal and squeaking in their leather, had been sweeping over the border since dawn. At Salzburg, Innsbruck, Kufstein, the German commanders rolled in, sent their staff officers to summon the Austrian commanders to the Rathaus, where the Austrians with unanimous cheerfulness accepted the decree that they were now part of the German Army...
