Seyss-Inquart welcoming Hitler last night at Linz declared Article 88 St. Germane Treaty inoperative. Hitler highly emotional, expressed joy at having fulfilled his mission to "give back his dear homeland to the German Reich". He did not know on what date Austrians would be called but he hopes it was not a distant one. This event would prove to the world that any further attempt to dismember this people would be futile.
Associated Press and United Press telegraphed full text of Hitler's speech, summary Seyss-Inquart's.
