Argument: Hitler was more Bavarian than he was Austrian. Though born in Austria, he grew up mainly in Bavaria, spoke with a Low Bavarian accent, fought in the Bavarian Army during the First World War (citing the fact that the Austro-Hungarian Armed Forces were too racially diverse), considered himself German because he lived in territories that were historically part of the Rhine Confederation, lost his Austrian citizenship in 1925, and married a Münchner Bavarian woman (Eva Braun). In addition, Austrian national identity didn't exist until 1945 and the only unifying force they had before then was the Habsburgs (which is a separate argument within itself that I'd be willing to make).

BASED ON:	There was an American gunman by the name of Francis Crowley. On 7 May 1931, the New York City Police Department tracked him to his ex-girlfriend's fifth-floor bedroom apartment. 300 policemen, armed with rifles, machine guns, and tear gas surrounded the building and a crowd of 15,000 people gathered to watch the ensuing fight. Crowley was wounded multiple times, and during the incident he wrote a famous letter which stated that "Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one — one that would do nobody any harm." A day earlier, on a country road in Long Island, two officers approached his parked car and asked for his license. Without saying a word, Crowley stepped out of the vehicle and shot them both, killing one and wounding the other. And that was the man who said "Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one — one that would do nobody any harm."
