In March 1938 Austria became the first country to be annexed by Germany. (In other words, it was added to Germany). In Linz and Vienna Hitler was greeted with hysterical enthusiasm that made even the Nuremberg rallies look tame. In Vienna some people celebrated by making Jews sweep the streets with tooth-brushes, while crowds looked on and jeered and laughed. Austrians were heavily represented in the German army and in the Nazi terror apparatus. It was only after Stalingrad that it became fashionable in Austria to say that the country had been a victim of Nazi agression. I hope this answers the question. Joncey Let's not forget that Adolf Hitler was born at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, on 20 April 1889 and only moved to Munich when he was 24 years old.
