    No, it was someone attending with Herr Hitler at the time.

    A surgeon.

    No one here knows the answer?

    It is Hitler's surgeon: Hanskarl von Hasselbach.

    When German met German in Austria. The Spring of 1938.

    Even though I believe that this is true, I do not like your attitude, NoName. [​IMG]

    Even though major parts of Austria definitely desired the Anschluss, "German met German" is, at best, an euphemism. This was an occupation, enforced with political blackmail and military force and in violation to Hitler's warranties.

    A non-euphemistic one regarding the happenings of 1938. Even though many Austrians desired it to happen, the Anschluss was political blackmail and military occupation, including broken promises of Hitler. Well, worse happenings were to follow...

    What about a new question?

    Name the German commander who resisted and then won at the battle of Narvik.

    Hint: he was the first person to receive the Oakleaves to his Knight's Cross. ;)

    Heer General,
    Might that commander be Maj General Edward Dietl who commanded the 3rd Mountain Division?
