Answer
Anschluss, the annexation of Austria, happened in 1938. Werner von Blomberg was a German general and politician who was Minister of Defense from 1933 to 1938. He was forced to resign in 1938 after it was revealed that he had an affair with a woman who was not his wife. Anschluss was a significant event in German history because it marked the beginning of Nazi Germany's expansionist policies.
