Interview with WWII reconaissance pilot

If we go back far enough we might even share a mother.

BTT:
I have no idea what you're talking about. Austria always wanted to reunite with Germany - but as state with equal rights rather than being annexed(sp?).
Sure there was some resistance from the KPÖ and some other intellectuals, but that's it.
And what civil war in 34? The Julyputsch?

What's you point?

Swiss, I hope you realize that not everyone in the Sudetenland was ethnically German. Thousands and thousands of people were forced to migrate.

Also, I'm far from an expert at this, but the Holy Roman Empire was not a modern state as such. Its not an equivalent to modern Germany which was unified in 1871, and didn't include Bohemia.

I'm still completely at a loss as to how anyone can fault us for starting the was in the Pacific. We should be forced to trade with a country slaughtering millions in China Thats stinks of rank irrational hatred of the US. We did not blockade Japan, meaning to prevent others from trading with them.

I would say the complete opposite...that Austria never wanted to unite with Germany; this was a Pan-Germanic attitude of German origin.

Doesn't change the fact your wrong, Austria just had a different idea of the conditions of the integration.
The Austrian were convinced they are too small too survive on their own.

You could try to google translate the German version of the wiki article, which is excellent.
