153. Reference my telegram 146, March 22, 6 p.m.93 This afternoon’s papers announced that the plebiscite in both Germany and Austria on April 10th will be held on the following question: “Do you approve of the reunion of Austria with the German Reich effected on March 13, 1938, and do you vote for the (electoral) list of our Fuehrer Adolph Hitler.”
Reich Germans and Austrians are to use different colored ballots in order to ensure the separate count of the Austrian and German vote.
