Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash: On this date in 1935 a plebiscite was held in the Saarland resulting in more than 90 per cent of voters favoring returning to a union with Germany. The Saar had been held jointly under the Treaty of Versailles by both Britain and France. After the 15 year term of the mandate ended, voters chose to cast their ballots for a return to the German Reich.
