‘Shock Forces' Roll Into Conquered Land As Crowds Cheer
memel; March 22—WKl—Motorized companies of German "shock forces’’ tonight rolled into Memel from East Prussia and occupied it in the name of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, who is riding eastward through the Baltic aboard his battleship Deutschland for a triumphal entry Thursday.
For the first time in his series of triumphal appearances after smashing Europe's frontiers. Hitler is riding to Memel In a sea parade symbolic of Germany's naval strength.
A naval fleet escorted him through the Baltic to Memel, which will become Germany’s closest naval base to Soviet Russia.
The squadron consisted of the 10,-000-ton "pocket battleships" Deutschland, Admiral Graf Spee, and Admiral Scheer, the cruisers Leipzig, Nuremberg, and Koeln, two destroyer divisions, three torpedo boat flotillas, and a convoy flotilla.
Two motorized companies crossed the Memel river at Tilsit, wiping out the old frontier, and moved into the streets of Memel. At almost the same hour the German and Lithuanian foreign ministers in Berlin announced the signature of a formal treaty whereby Lithuania surrendered all claims to Memelland.
Thousands of Memelland’s 152,-000 people, their clamor for "a home in the Reich” satisfied when Lithuania bowed to a Nr*zl ultimatum threatening invasion of all Llthtu-ania, surged through the streets shouting "Hell Hitler!”
