The real history of Anschluss was not exactly as presented.

The referendum took place a month after Hitler took over Austria. (and
predictably yielded a 99.97% vote).

Lame attempts to draw parallels between Obama administration and the
Hitler regime are laughable to any serious student of WWII. I would
recommend to anyone to read at least 100 lbs of books on WWII, pretty
much any selection should get one started.

Anschluss was supported by many in Austria, but not to the extent that
the fake Hitler sponsored referendum implied.

After the war, Austria cleverly tried to wiggle out of its war
responsibility by pretending to be a "victim of Anschluss".
Fortunately enough, it did not prevent Austria from paying its share
of reparations. Unfortunately, their self selected status as "victims"
of Hitler prevented them from doing de-Nazification to any serious
extent.

The positive effect of reparations and wartime destruction mentioned,
is that Austria (as well as Germany) is now a peace loving
country. They are rejecting war and economic instability.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

The history is not as simple as Republican chain letters would
suggest. Republicans are preying on the uninformed.
