  • 1940

  • 1939

  • 1938

  • 1941

Answer

In 1938, Nazi Germany annexed Austria, forcing Alma to flee. The Anschluss, as the annexation was called, was the first step in Adolf Hitler's plan to conquer Europe. Austria was a relatively easy target for Hitler, as it was a small country with a weak military. The annexation was met with little resistance from the Austrian people, who were largely sympathetic to the Nazis.
