The church’s guidance in voting increased in the years following the ban. For the plebiscite of April 10, 1938, which validated the annexation of Austria and the later invasions of the Rhineland, the church leadership decided that it would be good to illuminate the decisions of the Adventist voters. In a circular passed around on April 4, 1938, the German Union recommended that Adventists hand the Fuhrer “a thankful ‘yes’” (Blaich 1994:265).
