When I made that statement I was thinking something like a Alpine union.

Then we might as well just take south Tirol and swiss in our country as well.

Nothing created more self-hate, hate (NS) and confution amongst south-germans than the absolute idiotic idea of North-Germans beeing the better or purer Germans. The "purest German" would be the intersection of all German groups you've mentioned. North-Germans are more Germanic in terms of heritage on everage, yet not more German. Why on earth is a North-German named Jensen (Danish) more German than a German named Kossina (Baltic), Klucaric (Burgenland- Croat), Tschuggnall (Rhaeto-Roman), etc.?
Schmitt or Meier gets the price!

I wouldn't have a problem. I think Germans and Austrians feel very close to each other, even if they currently perceive themselves as different. Anyway, Southern Germans and Austrians are practically the same people, so if anything that region should be under the same rule, so yeah, why not?

I just See Austria as a small version of Germany, basically same people with both have very successful and advance economies.

I doubt Austrians would support being part of Germany. They view themselves as different from Germans and as a separate nation.

They might support it if they made the new capital of a greater Germany, Vienna.

Uhm I don't think so, and I highly doubt Germans would want their capital to be Vienna which contrasts to a large extent with Berlin, Frankfurt, Bonn, and so forth. Austria will never be part of Greater Germany, and they will never view themselves as German.
