With the coming of "presidential government" in Germany led by Chancellor Heinrich Brüning in 1930 came an increase in German revanchism as strident calls were made for the return of the Free City of Danzig together with the Polish corridor to the Reich. Gottfried Treviranus, the Minister of Occupied Eastern Territory in Brüning's cabinet declared in a speech at a rally outside of the Reichstag in Berlin in August 1930: "An unjust border cannot withstand international law and the national will to live. Down with the talk of catastrophe. Rally around with courage to banish all troubles. The day will come when the fight for right will free Germany and Europe!" At the same time, politics in Danzig had taken a turn towards the right with the Danzig branch of the National Socialists under the leadership of Gauleiter Albert Forster becoming the second party in the Danzig Senate on a platform of "Home to the Reich!"
