The 1939 Liechtenstein putsch, also known as the Annexation putsch () was an unsuccessful coup d'état by the German National Movement in Liechtenstein ( or VDBL) on 24 March 1939 designed to provoke Liechtenstein's annexation by Nazi Germany.

Postal Codes In Liechtenstein
On 26 June 1964, Swiss Post introduced postal codes as the third country after Germany (1941) and the United States (1963). In Switzerland, the postal codes have four digits. As with the postcode system introduced in Germany in 1993, a municipality can receive several postcodes. A locality (settlement) having its own postal code does not mean that it is an independent political municipality, but only that it is an official locality. In addition, a postcode can include several political communes (e.g.: 3048 Worblaufen, includes parts of the communes of Bern and Ittigen) or several cantons (e.g.: 8866 Ziegelbrücke, includes parts of the cantons of Glarus and St. Gallen), which is why it is not possible to assign it unambiguously in both directions. In addition, it is often not possible to assign a unique postcode to post offices (post boxes) in larger cities. For this reason, six-digit postcodes are used internally.
