Some Austrians supported the Nazi movement due to a combination of economic hardship, nationalistic feelings, and the appeal of Adolf Hitler's promises to restore Austria's former glory and stability. The Great Depression had left many disillusioned, and the Nazi party's emphasis on strong leadership and anti-communism resonated with those seeking security. Additionally, the Nazi ideology of restoring a unified Germanic identity attracted individuals who felt marginalized or threatened by the political climate of the time. This support was further fueled by Propaganda that portrayed the Nazis as a solution to Austria's social and economic problems.

Negligible. Austrians were for the most part wanting to be a part of Germany, and the Austrian resistance to the Nazi regime was primarily one and the same with the German resistance -- they were not fighting for independence, but for a regime change.
Nazi Germany infiltrated and eventually controlled Austria prior to WWII through a combination of political manipulation and coercion. Adolf Hitler, an Austrian-born German politician, used propaganda and intimidation tactics to gain support among the Austrian population, while also exploiting existing divisions within Austrian society. Additionally, Nazi sympathizers within Austria collaborated with the German government to ensure a smooth transition of power, culminating in the Anschluss in 1938, where Austria was annexed into Nazi Germany.
The Anschluss, also known as the Anschluss Österreichs, was the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938. The idea of an Anschluss (a united Austria and Germany that would form a "Greater Germany") began after the unification of Germany excluded Austria and the German Austrians from the Prussian-dominated German Empire in 1871.
Annexation of Austria was the merge of Austria into Nazi Germany On March 12, 1938, Nazi parties from Austria and Germany were collaboratively involved in the Annexation of Austria.
Austria was not actually captured. It, for the most part, went willingly into Nazi arms. The majority were all for the new salute. In fact, Germany did not so much as invade Austria as bond with it. The Austrians were often considered the "South Germans". They were historically bound to Germany and vice versa. This action violated the Treaty of Versailles, and is known as Anschluss.

They saw Germany as a success, and allowed convenience to dictate their future.
