No guys, it was Germany. Adlof Hitler was born in Brannau, Austria in 1885. He was not a natrual-born German, as much as he claimed he was.

Ummm, I'm not sure you got that either of us was being silly (unlike Prime Choice - take a look at post #42). However, the last country with an ehtnic Austrian as its leader, was, in fact, Austria: Heinz Fischer who was born in Graz.

Actually, Der Fuehrer was born in 1889, on the 20th of April. And the full name of the town is Braunau am Inn. And he never claimed to be anything other than Austrian--that's why the Anschluss was so important to him. Being an Austrian in Germany is what led to the development of his idea for a Greater Germanic Reich, with a state for all ethnically-Germanic peoples, with the rest reduced to economic slavery and political impotence.
