March 1938 (Des Moines Register)
"Thunder Over Europe"
"Vienna - Germany seizes Austrian government, reorganizing cabinet with Arthur Seysz-Inquart, personal friend of Hitler, as chancellor. Kurt Schuschnigg driven from office by German ultimatum threatening invasion. German troops marching toward Vienna."
"Berlin - Hitler reported closeted early Friday evening with members of new Austrian cabinet; government denies issuing ultimatum to Austria, says demand came from Austrian ministers 'in view of Schuschnigg's dangerous policy.'"
"London - British and French governments protest German action; Hitler's move seen as bitter blow to new British 'realistic' foreign policy."
"Paris - Austrian crisis catches France without cabinet; Premier-designate Leon Blum expresses confidence he can form new national union government; Italy refuses joint action with France and Britain to save Austria."
"Swastikas Over Austria"
"Chancellor Hitler's imprint was left Friday on many parts of central Europe; in the above map, swastikas mark a few of them. At Passau and Kuftsein, German troops were reported to have crossed the border (dotted line) into Austria. At Eisenstadt, Nazis seized control of government offices. And in Vienna, Nazi mobs drove supporters of Chancellor Schuschnigg to cover."
