The April 1938 Plebiscite in Austria: Hitler’s Second Visit to Vienna

The April 1938 Plebiscite in Austria: Hitler’s Second Visit to Vienna​

Most accounts of the Anschluss of Austria end on 15 March 1938, with the Heldenplatz. In fact, the annexation was not confirmed until almost a month later, and those four weeks turned out to be the part of the story I found least written about. Between 25 March and 9 April, Hitler ran what proved to be the last election campaign of his life — fourteen cities in sixteen days, eight German and six Austrian — and came back to Vienna a second time, on the eve of the vote. I have put the whole of it into a new article, location by location, with 50+ photographs and my own pictures of every site as it looks now.

I would greatly appreciate your feedback on this material, as it took months of research and was both difficult and absorbing to write.
