In Germany the position was that the authorities were tolerant. Homosexual acts were illegal, but the law was not enforced and there was a committee looking (slowly) into the case for legalizing homosexual acts between consenting consenting adults. Then the Nazis came to power and drastically increased the penalties. I don't know about the position in Austria.

Austria, however it was not really an invasion but a coerced decision by the Austrian government to turn power over to the Austrian Nazi Party (that took orders from Hitler). It was called the "Anschluss" which is German for 'joining', 'connection', or 'union'. Thereafter Austria was considered part of "greater Germany" and fully participated in Germany's ambitions & conquests.
