War broke out at 2:30 a.m. on April 8, 1936.
Shortly after three in the morning, a large number of bombers took off from Germany mainland, howling as they flew towards Austria.
The bombers had only one mission, which was to concentrate their attacks on the Austrian military at the borders, aiming to break through their defensive line.
At the same time, the German Army, as if prepared for this very moment, assembled thousands of firearms and started indiscriminate bombing against the Austrian military.
Shells fell like torrential rain upon the Austrian positions, causing a vibration akin to an earthquake.
After being reported up the chain of command, the news of the border conflict and Germany's declaration of war reached the desk of Austrian Emperor Karl I.
"Damn it, how dare the Germans declare war on us?" Karl looked at his Prime Minister incredulously, "And what is this attack they claim we launched against them?"
