Hitler moves troops into the Rhineland

Earlier today, Hitler ordered troops to enter the Rhineland. The Rhineland is an western area in Germany that borders France.

Just as much of the German violations of the Treaty of Versailles, it has met little in the way of opposition. In fact, the Western Powers have done nothing.

Poland has proposed putting the Franco-Polish Military Alliance into action but nothing has come of it.

Early this morning, nineteen German infantry battalions and a handful of planes entered the Rhineland and made the River Rhine by 11 AM local time.

French troops have congregated on the Franco-German border but none have crossed the border itself.
