1938 Austria......
The real history of Anschluss was not exactly as presented.
The referendum took place a month after Hitler took over Austria. (and predictably yielded a 99.97% vote). Lame attempts to draw parallels between Obama administration and the Hitler regime are laughable to any serious student of WWII. I would recommend to anyone to read at least 100 lbs of books on WWII, pretty much any selection should get one started. Anschluss was supported by many in Austria, but not to the extent that the fake Hitler sponsored referendum implied. After the war, Austria cleverly tried to wiggle out of its war responsibility by pretending to be a "victim of Anschluss". Fortunately enough, it did not prevent Austria from paying its share of reparations. Unfortunately, their self selected status as "victims" of Hitler prevented them from doing de-Nazification to any serious extent. The positive effect of reparations and wartime destruction mentioned, is that Austria (as well as Germany) is now a peace loving country. They are rejecting war and economic instability. i |

The history is not as simple as Republican chain letters would suggest. Republicans are preying on the uninformed. i |
