Most Austrians spoke German, and were ethnically German. Therefore they identified themselves as German; the Austrian Empire fell apart after WWI and therefore Austrians gravitated toward the more powerful Germany. They were attracted to Hitler's visions of German nationalism because they were essentially German and would benefit from it.
