In February 1938 Schussnigg, Chancellor of Austria, bowed to pressure from Hitler and appointed Seyss-Inquart Minister of the Interior. The presence of a Nazi in the Austrian government gave subsequent events an air of legality. Seyss-Inquart replaced Schussnigg as Chancellor and, hours later, invited Hitler's troops to 'help restore order' in Austria, completing the Anschluss forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles.
