    You know which one. Austrians were considered (and most identified) as Germans before WW2. Insisting they weren’t of German ethnicity is a historical revisionism.

      I didn’t mentioned the ethnicity, but he wasn’t German.

          Irrelevant, I was clearly mentioning nationality.

            You wrote “Which German?”, how is that “clearly mentioning nationality”?

            German means both ethnicity and nationality.

              In any normal conversation it refers to nationality.

                The context is Hitler, so why can’t you infer that German is spoken of as an ethnicity?
