Saarland back in German hands

Today, Germany has gained more land. The Saarland voted on January 13th to rejoin Germany and today it has happened. The French have ended their control of the region and it has now been taken by Germany.

Joseph Bürckel has been appointed the Reichkommissar für die Rückgliederung des Saarlandes. His title translates as "Imperial Commissioner for the re-union of Saarland".
