You should know that about half of the Austrian Hungarian soldiers in that battle were Slovenians. 2 of my great grandfathers were there.

@lisanalgaib555 I lived in Vienna for a year so I can tell you Austrians are not Germans and not even Germanic people like English... They are Germanized Slavs and Celts speaking Bavarian dialect and it is very hard to understand them if you only speak standard German. They also dislike anyone that speaks standard German. They prefer English speakers than German. They really dislike Germans in Vienna.

@lisanalgaib555 Great that you mentioned the DNA. Now actually check it and you will see that Austrian DNA is much closer to Slavic than to German DNA. It also depends on the part of Austria. Carinthia and Styria are Slavic while Tyrol is Celtic place...

@lisanalgaib555 originally Austrians were not speaking German. They spoke Slavic languages and Latin so this is why they let others to speak their native languages.
