Yes I know. There is a lovely book I have, The Letters of Mozart and His Family. Throughout it, him and his father often refer to their pride in being German. Always seems a bit weird to read.
you have to find it a bit funny when country, whose biggest gift to humanity was Adolf Hitler, tries to dictate other countries how they should deal with people who tried to make a Putsch. Personally, I believe it would be better for Turkey if they would shift their interest from the EU to other their neighbors.

Oh come on now, that ridiculous. Austria have done a complete 180 ever since Hitler (who, by the way, disdained Austria compared to Germany as he felt they were limp-wristed) and have been completely non-racist and very tolerant of others.
Compare this to Turkey currently, who not only feel that they did nothing at all wrong in hundreds of years of invasions, genocide, mass-rape, slavery and forced conversions, but glorify it!*
So don't*try to compare them - it's embarrassingly disingenuous and misleading *
I'm Austrian and you guys don't know what you're talking about. Austria is not that racist there are a few racists against Turks but not as much as Germany. Austria is still a beautiful Country even with the Refugees they haven't done much anyway.
