But Austria simply gave up, we didn't fight at all
I doubt Hitler could've annexed Austria had we actually faced him
To me it looked like Austria was kind of meh about it.
From all the wars, I know about Austria's annexation the most
Most articles and books I've read mostly focus on the invasion of France
The short version goes like this:
Over many years, Nazis took key roles in our politics, which was tolerated for reasons I will likely never understand. Austria experienced very troubling times due to violent political conflict between the parties and their supporters. A lot of people died due to terrorism.
There was also a lot of miscommunication at the highest levels between the Austrian president and the chancellor and so forth. And there were elections to be held, but they were unfortunately illegal and so the situation was very tense. Hitler moved in just at the very moment when elections were supposed to be held. He was afraid that after the elections he'd lose his chance to annex Austria.
Basically Hitler was carefully spreading chaos in Austria's politics with the help of Nazi infiltration. This chaos is what made it possible for him to just march in with no resistance, which comes down to the Austrian chancellor being a complete bitch who was too afraid for, well, we don't know exactly what he was so afraid about.
Civil unrest strongly added to everything.
Probably an imagined fear which materalized into a completely different one.
Yeah it was a lot of backdoor politics, so we'll never know.
I know people fled Austria because of the civil unrest.
Since Hitler made sure to kill his political enemies, there were not many survivors to tell the story from their perspective.
There was this Austrian guy who immigrated to the US and joined the Marines to go fight and ended up in the Pacific.
A relative of Hitler?
No he was Jewish
🤔
He didn't like the idea of hearing people singing about jewish blood flowing from their knives outside his window at night
Hitler had a relative who was in the US Navy iirc
His surname wasn't Hitler, he changed it.
SS was so fucking insane and unlikable there was a battle after Hitler yeeted himself where US GIs and Wehrmacht soldiers allied to fight against wafen SS to rescue political prisoners from an austrian castle
SS were the top Koolaid drinkers
What does "yeet himself" mean?
Suicide
bit the bullet
speaking of, the people at Jonestown didn't JUST drink Kool-Aid, they also drank Flavor-Aid
Swallowed the poison dong
He did a cyanide capsule then went bang
You forgot to add "rumors have it"
That's what his secretary overheard the DR telling him.
Anyone seen that girl that got beheaded by that r9k beta
The far left is going apeshit
Yeah the Russians didn't see CSI yet
