[NARRATOR] Faced
by these threats,
the Austrians carried
out all Hitler's demands.
But the Nazi conspirators
weren't satisfied.
A month later when Schuschnigg
announced a plebiscite
on Austrian Independence,
Hitler and defendant Goering
demanded the
plebiscite be canceled.
Another ultimatum demanded
Schuschnigg resign
within three hours.
Fearing invasion,
Schuschnigg resigned
and finally defendant
Seyss-Inquart was appointed
the new Chancellor of Austria.
That same day Goering in Berlin
called Keppler of the
German Embassy in Vienna.
The conversation
was transcribed.
Kepler spoke first:
[NARRATOR] Well, we
represent the government now.
Yes, that's it,
you're the government.
Listen carefully, the
following telegram
should be sent here
from Seyss-Inquart.
Take the notes.
The provisional
Austrian Government
sends to the German
Government the urgent request
for support in its task
to help prevent bloodshed.
For this purpose, it asks
the German Government
to send German troops
as soon as possible.
[NARRATOR] Well, SA and SS
are marching
through the streets.
Everything has collapsed
with the professional groups.
[NARRATOR] Seyss-Inquart
is the only one
who still has power in Austria.

Austria, to annex Austria
or to conclude an Anschluss.
21st of May 1935, Adolf Hitler.
[NARRATOR] The
curtain fell on Act One,
but already the Nazi conspirators
prepared for Act Two
with this 1938 memorandum from
Hitler to his High Command.
[NARRATOR] It is my
unalterable decision to smash
Czechoslovakia by military
action in the near future.
It is the job of the
political leaders
to bring about the politically
and militarily suitable moment.
designated political leader.
The plan was labeled
Operation Green
and defendant Jodl issued
another memorandum reading:
[NARRATOR] Operation Green
will be set in motion by means
of an incident in Czechoslovakia
which will give Germany
provocation for
military intervention.
The fixing of the exact
time for this incident
is of the utmost importance.
[NARRATOR] A few months
later, Germany signed
the Munich Pact with
England, France and Italy.
This pact involved the transfer
of the Sudetenland to Germany.
The conspirators called it
their last territorial demand.
