WI Austria included in Denazification

[Snowstalker]

Official Allied doctrine was that Austria (home of many NSDAP officials and of course the birthplace of Hitler himself), rather than being a participant in Nazi crimes, was a victime in the same way that Poland and France were. If Austrian occupation continued and if the Allies attempted to subject it to Denazification, would Austrian politics look more similar to modern German politics rather than being much more tolerant of xenophobia and of far-right parties?

The fact that Austria was considered a victim (there was a joke that the Austrians managed to convince the world that Beethoven was an Austrian and Hitler was a German) does not mean that it was not subject to denazification. See http://www.entnazifizierung.at/denazification-in-austria/
