HW 26

A.) Dear Josef,
           You need not worry, I am fine- for the moment. As I'm sure you've read, the Germans have come into Austria. They are swiftly taking control of all political offices. They are forcing all the Juden to clear the streets with brushes. We had asked for help from both Britain and France, but neither of them came to help. We are being invaded and all our cries for help fall on deaf ears! Are we merely supposed to stand by as all our livelihoods are endangered?! If they wont stand up for us, i fear no one will...

- Franz

B.) The Nazi-Soviet pact was an agreement between Germany and the Soviet union and called for a peace treaty. The agreement had a secret clause calling for Poland to be split in half, with the Eastern half given to the Soviet Union and the Western half given to Germany. Many people were surprised to hear of the agreement seeing as one of Hitler's biggest enemies was the communists, making the alliance with the Soviet Union unlikely and strange.
