HITLER ELECTION AND ANSCHLUSS BALLOT
German paper ballot, 1p. oblong 8vo., [n.p., Apr. 10, 1938]: "Do you agree with the reunification of Austria with the German Reich that was enacted on 13 March 1938, and do you vote for the party of our leader Adolf Hitler?". The larger circle, a "Yes", has been marked by a voter. Fine. On the morning of 12 March, the 8th Army of the German Wehrmacht crossed the border to Austria. The troops were greeted by cheering German-Austrians with Nazi salutes, Nazi flags and flowers. Parliamentary elections were held in Germany on April 10, 1938. They took the form of a single-question referendum asking whether voters approved of a single Nazi-party list as well as the recent annexation of Austria. 98.9% of the voters voted "yes".

Estimate: $100 - 150.
