Anschluss (or Surprise Anschluss) is a running gag in the Polandball universe used to describe a countryball becoming a rectangle with small eyes before proceeding to invade and annex another countryball. Historically, it refers to the German annexation of Austria. The most common example of this is Germanyball becoming Reichtangle.
