Hitler's birthplace was in modern day Linz, Austria.
However when he was born he would have been a citizen of the Austro-”Hungarian” Empire.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. I am somewhat familiar with late 19th century European politics.

But what concerned me was not the birthplace of Hitler, but the comparison of the Hungarian Prime Minister Orban to Hitler (usually meant as a supreme insult) seemingly because of his institution of border controls for his country. Protecting one’s borders from invaders would seem prudent for any country, Hungary included. I don’t understand why doing so would induce someone to compare the PM to Hitler. Hitler certainly wasn’t one to respect borders.
