Best Answer

Memel was a part of German Reich until the end of World War I. In the 1919 Versailles Treaty the Memel area was given to Lithuania. The inhabitants of Memel were mainly Germans.

After successfully annexing Austria, Sudetenland and Bohemia-Moravian provinces, Hitler gave an ultimatum to Lithuania, in which he demanded Memel province to be returned to Germany. Lithuania agreed and Memel was reunited to German Reich.

Hitler never "invaded" Memel, although this was Nazi Germany's last bloodless conquest.
