A cathedral in the city of Vienna, Ostmarck (formerly known as Austria before Anschluss). A large sign stands overhead declaring "The German-YES", likely a motto enforcing the idea that Austrians are German's themselves. A popular rhetoric at the time.

Following Austria's incorporation into the Reich, conditions improved dramatically. As Prof. Bukey writes: "In one of the most remarkable economic achievements in modern history, the National Socialists reduced the number of unemployed in Austria from 401 ,000 in January 1 938 to 99,865 in September; in Vienna from 1 83,271 to 74,1 62 ... By Christmas [1938] 27 percent more jobs existed in Austria than before the Anschluss." In 1940 the unemployment rate fell to just 1 .2 percent.
