They are; Austria was in the Deutsche Bund and Mozart said he is proud to be a german.
The same applies to the German-speaking Swiss, Luxemburger and so on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AustriansUnlike earlier in the 20th century, in 1987 only 6% of Austrians identified themselves as "Germans".[43] Today over 90% of the Austrians see themselves as an independent nation.[44][45] The logic of the existence of an independent Austrian state is no longer questioned as it was in the inter-war period. Proponents who recognize Austrians as a nation claim that Austrians have Celtic heritage, as Austria is the location of the first characteristically Celtic culture to exist.[46] It is said that Celtic Austria became culturally Romanized under Roman rule and later culturally Germanized after Germanic invasions.[46] Contemporary Austrians express pride in having Celtic heritage and Austria possesses one of the largest collections of Celtic artifacts in Europe.[47]

Yes they are Germans and until 1945 no one ever would have even conceived of this question. Nazi Germany gave birth to 3 different nations, all of which shared its legacy but coped with it in different ways. West Germany took responsibility for the Nazi era but tried to polish the image of the Wehrmacht and continued to use former Nazis in the government/military. East Germany thoroughly de-Nazified itself and took solace in being a communist Soviet satellite state. Austria tried to rid itself of the guilt by saying we are not Germans and we were in fact invaded by Germany.
And although Austrians seem to cluster with Hungarians moreso than Germans, it is not a big difference between the two anyway. Plus, Prussians are probably even more eastern shifted than Austrians are.
