In my own words, Adolf Hitler a native of Austria upon seizing control of Germany was determined to force his birth nation to its knees by joining Austria to Germany!. Adolf orchestrated assasinations and riots to achieve his goals while Britain and France did nothing and upon achieving Anchluss Adolf unleashed his most vicious attacks yet upon Jews and again the World said nothing!.
