My point was and is that up until wwii most Austrians considered then selves German.. Not as in Germany as in what is Germany anyways.. There was ausrro Hungarian and German states . This conversation is a tad odd.
Ww II and nazis destroyed united German sentiment.. After the war Austria came into its own as well.. Austria .
Not sure what we are saying here that is different. either way Austria is Austria and Germany is Germany . Identifying as German is like saying I'm Slavic.. Doesn't mean I'm Russian.
Austrian and German states have a long Co mingled history. But Ww II really was the hammer that made the biggest impact.
Of course this is an odd conversion. You are telling me I'm supposed to identify as German, even if I don't.
Can't say if it's exact, since I don't fully know the situation there, but since you identify as Slavic (unless I read that wrong) the analogue might be calling an Ukrainian Russian. He'd probably not be happy with that too. Depending where he's standing in that current civil war happening.
