Yes. Hitler had been born in Austria. In 1938, he browbeat the old Austrian president into agreeing to Austrian unification with Germany, after which Austria ceased to be Austria and was called Ostmark. Every country Hitler's Nazis went in to, they found a certain percentage of the people agreed with the Nazi philosophy and were eager Nazis. There were many Austrian Nazis - such as former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. There was an entire SS division of Frenchmen fighting for the Nazis, called the Charlemange Division. There was also as SS division from Norway, and one of Muslims, from Bosnia.
Just two weeks ago a citizen of the Netherlands, who had also been an enthusiastic member of the SS, was convicted of murder for his wartime shootings of Dutch citizens suspected of resistance activities.
There are people of Nazi proclivities everywhere, still, today, though many don't understand this about themselves.
