The region of Hlučínsko and the region of Zaolzie were attached to the Gau Silesia (I don't know if this could be counted as the Altreich, however).
I don't know why there are parts of Sudetenland mentioned again in 1939 (attached to Bavarian Eastern March, Lower Danube, Sudetenland and Upper Danube). It was an occupation of the rest of the Czech lands and creation of the Protectorate (apart of some negligible changes).

Oppose The government in place at any given time is irrelevant, the country is still Germany from its 1871 foundation. The fact that all the annexations noted here took place between 1933 and 1945 is coincidental. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 02:34, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support: the article makes clear that its scope is entirely about WWII, and omits the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, a few months after the foundation of the German Empire. UndercoverClassicist (talk) 13:15, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I really can't understand the rationale of users opposing this move. This article covers the lands annexed by Nazi Germany. There is no common name discussion to be had here. The article for the German entity that existed in the covered period is titled Nazi Germany. The article is also not about any other kind of Germany. SuperΨDro20:12, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The expansion concept was not confined to Nazi Germany, it had long been part of the Prussian/German mindset. To think that Nazi Germany was somehow a unique phenomenon is wrong - it was a continuation of what had gone before taken to its extremes. To think otherwise shows a lack of historical context. The breaking of that German mentality occurred post WW2. As well as Alsace Lorraine, we should also look at the 1917 Treaty of Brest-Litovsk where major areas in the East were annexed by Germany at Russia's expense. That is often forgotten because it was overtaken by Versailles a year of so later. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 02:44, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lower Styria and Carniola were never fully annexed, despite many German laws being applied there. Annexation was ready, the decree was on Hitler's table but postponed several times and never signed. Partly because of resistance but mostly for technical legal reasons like who exactly becomes German citizen and others. They were simply more pedantic than Italy or Hungary who swiftly annexed the occupied parts of what is now Slovenia. I'll correct the article with sources later, for example https://ojs.inz.si/pnz/article/download/3406/3743/Messlo (talk) 17:17, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
