Austria joining Germany?

[Žołnir]

Whats general attitude/opinion of Austrians concerning possibility of Austria joining Germany if all other nations would allow?

[Baluarte]

Most Austrians I've met do not want to be annexed.
Even if I believe Pan-Germanism is a mostly good thing, I understand why someone would't like to be ruled by the current Berlin occupation government.

Because of the propaganda of the winners of ww2 Austrians dont feel german, and also wouldnt want to join Germany.
But also most Germans wouldnt want us to join.
But A Leader like Hitler could unite the german speaking countries again.

LOL Zolnir, who gave you that inspiration to open such a thread. We already discussed it btw
Austrians are related with Germans and share the same language and culture and I would not mind joining Germany but most people would.
It is not like Aherne says that Germans = Austrians
There are some minor but fine differences and don`t forget Austrians are the most most patriotic nationalists in whole Europe according to a recent survey.

Austrians would be embedded in a better economical system with improved social welfare, but
seperatism counts more for most people

A good reason for the Austrians, but what kind of benefits would the Germans derive?
