1. How useful are Sources B and C to a historian studying Anschluss in 1938?

Explain your answer using Sources B and C and your contextual knowledge.

Source B: An extract from When Hitler Took Austria (2008).
The author, Kurt von Schuschnigg, was the son of the former Austrian Chancellor who was forced to resign just before the Anschluss.

"Crowds on that March 12 included the unconvinced and the skeptical, as well as the curious. People gathered as if drawn by a magnet; but their presence did not endorse the new political environment, nor did it contradict the findings of recent government polls [that between 65 and 70% of Austrians wanted to retain independence from Germany].”

Source C: A painting by Austrian artist Alfred Pirkkert entitled Anschluss, painted c.1928.
