The German answers that we surely never tried to make Austrians enjoy themselves at a birthday party. They sit at the table and drink a beer after the other one, at best you obtain some sighs punctuated of " ah jo " when the Germans know how to have the alcohol exuberant, likely dancing. The Austrian - It is only my feeling – is depressed, an effect " east block " doubtless: neither ever very happy, nor ever very unfortunate, still to grumble or to complain. He did not besides clean its collective consciousness of the 2nd World war and feels even today an ambivalent feeling on this subject, contrary on what took place in Germany. Generations of young Germans learnt the mistake and forgot the national pride, that did not take place in Austria, where the extreme right and the racism is showed more openly and "legally" than in Germany. The Austrian has a complex with the German to whom he refers himself all the time (while the German ignores the Austrian - what has to annoy for sure). Doubtless he does not digest that for the rest of the world, Hitler is German and not Austrian, while it was its main export product (while discarding on the so-called German "invader" when that arranges him). And doubtless it is also heavy to be constantly reduced to Sissi and Franz-Jo, who, without Romi Schneider, would have sunk into oblivion since a very long time … The Austrian also suffers from the complex of the former empire became a big village and can’t stand Germany is so crushing. And Vienna, disproportionate capital regarding the country, is certainly creative, but it is not Berlin and the Austrian capital is not moreover representative of the general mentality.
