...border, smuggling SS men and ammunition into Danzig, spreading tales of terror, creating incidents and sounding false alarms, the outline of the coup could be foreseen. Danzig would have an "internal uprising." The eight members of the Danzig Senate-all Nazis-would declare the Free City absorbed into the Reich. At that moment police and soldiers would evict the Polish customs guards on the area's borders and take over.

There were speeches and a parade, all surprisingly nonbelligerent.
