In a plebiscite (referendum) held in 1935 the Saar (Saarland) the overwhelming majority of electors (over 90%) voted to rejoin Germany. This plebiscite had been timetabled in 1920 and was held with international obsevers. There was no takeover.

In 1920, under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the Saar was put under French control for 15 years (from 1920). In 1935 the electors decided the future of their area in a vote, and over 90% voted to rejoin Germany. This vote (plebiscite) was provided for in the Versailles Treaty and was done with foreign observers present. It was all legal and above board. On March 1, 1935, Germany took over the Saar.
It was an essential 'first step' to Hitler's Road to War: 1. The result demonstrated that Germans were not just being scared into supporting the Nazis. It made it very hard for Hitler's opponents to argue that the German people were not entirely behind him. 2. The result gave a massive boost to Hitler's status. The Saar plebiscite confirmed Hitler's expansionist agenda for the rest of the 1930s, and made it incredibly difficult for democratic governments to oppose his claims to Austria and the Sudetenland.
