The results of the referendum in Saar Region on January 13, 1935 showed that 528,005 citizens with voting rights in Saar Region participated in the vote, resulting in 90.8% of those willing to belong to Germany. France and the International Union both believed that the legitimacy of the vote was undoubted, and the UN decided that Saar Region and the German Empire were officially merged from March 1, 1935. Prussian Interior Minister Karl Seffolyn believed that the political status of the empire was the basic temptation to make Saar Region belong to Germany.
