The Heldenplatz filled with people

The whole expanse of a great square, bordered by rows of bare trees, is dark with people; an equestrian monument rises on its pedestal among them, and beyond stand the long baroque fronts of palace wings, with the spire of a Gothic church on the skyline at the left. The source names the Heldenplatz. There, from the balcony of the Neue Burg, Hitler announced on 15 March 1938 the incorporation of Austria into the German Reich.
