Curator's Comment:

This montage is listed under Heartfield's art for the AIZ. However in 1936, AIZ was renamed Die Volks Illlustriete.

On February 12, 1938, Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg's was "invited" to Berchtesgaden. Hitler forced him to accept Arthur Seys-Inquart in as Austrian minister for home affairs.

At the same time, the fuhrer demanded amnesty for all Austrian Nazis. By March 11, 1938, German troops are marched into Austria.
