This motif from National Socialist propaganda shows Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler giving a speech in front of the Reichstag in the Krolloper in Berlin on March 18, 1938. The speech refers, among other things, to the "Anschluss of Austria" to the German Reich. On the right of the picture, the Austrian state government, headed by Reich Governor Arthur Seyß-Inquart (first row of seats on the left). On the left the German Reich government, in the first row of seats on the right Rudolf Hess, behind him Reich Minister Walther Funk (l.) and Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schacht.
