Footnote: The annexation of Austria occurred on March 13th, 1938 when Adolf Hitler and his German troops entered Austria following the resignation of Austrian Councillor Kurt von Schuschnigg. The event was commemorated by the Austrian Anschluss medal, and was awarded to those Austrians and members of the Austrian Nationalist movement who participated in the annexation. Furthermore, it was also awarded to German State officials and members of the Wehrmacht and the SS who marched into Austria on March 18th, 1938. The Anschluss medal offered here is a prototype of the commonly seen commemorative medal designed by Richard Klein. |
