26. Entry German troops into Austria last night preceded by Schuschnigg resignation and Seyss-Inquart’s radio broadcast urging non-resistance produced profound impression here. Cabinet convened at 9 and continued into the night. German allegation regarding [Page 425] movement of Czech troops to Austrian border and smuggling of arms from Czechoslovakia officially denied here. City appears externally normal but people very tense and anxious.
