What happens
After a successful coup d'état by the local Nazi party in Vienna, German troops have crossed the Austrian border and taken control of the country. No fighting has been reported, and the German soldiers were greeted by cheering crowds in the cities. In a speech before a massive crowd at the Heldenplatz in Vienna, Hitler announced the Anschluss of Austria, annexing the country into Germany: 'The oldest eastern province of the German people shall be, from this point on, the newest bastion of the German Reich!'
