Nope, not at all. Being labeled as German is way worse than labelling us as Australian

He was austrian, but here he was some kind of outcast and we made fun of him cuz he didn't even make it on art school.

I mean, who would've guessed that the Germans thought that he would be a great leader?

Of course he was both; but then again most Austrians (besides the Austrofascists kinda) considered themselves Germans back then anyway. I'm sure without the Nazi-Regime we'd still be Germans even nowadays.
