I'm fascinated with the idea that the Viennese were completely blindsided by Hitler because they didn't think this was going to happen to them. Well, that's a really interesting point: Did it happen to them, or did they take the next step into their future history?
Very soon after the war ended, people wanted to know whether they should look upon Austria as Hitler's latest victim - and they had to square that with the way Hitler was received by the Austrian people.
