On this day, Adolf Hitler announces an "Anschluss" (union) between Germany and Austria, in fact annexing the smaller nation into a greater Germany.

Best comic ever. So, we skipped Stalin's Bazaar, chapter 13, but you can do it for extra credit. Here we are at the Nazi-Soviet Pact. What I love here are the portrayals of the personalities. "...Molotov, who had a faculty to irritate far more stable personalities than Hitler...".

In this source Hitler and Stalin are a couple who have just got married. This is a metaphor for their alliance.

If the French had then marched into the Rhineland we would have had to withdraw with our tails between our legs, for the military resources at our disposal would have been wholly inadequate for even a moderate resistance." Adolf Hitler speech after German forces get into the Rhineland, 1936.

"At that time we had no army worth mentioning .... If the French had taken any action we would have been easily defeated; Our resistance would have been over in a few days. And the Air Force we had then was ridiculous - a few junkers 52s from Lufthansa and not even enough bombs for them..." Adolf Hitler speech after German forces get into the Rhineland, 1936.
