Austria is a landlocked, German-speaking country that resides in central Europe among quite a few prominent neighbors, such as Slovakia and Germany. It is home to the grand Australian Alps and wooded foothill areas that are the focal points of its esteemed natural beauty. During WW2, Austria was a supporter and member of the Axis powers, specifically having a close relationship with Nazi Germany. Mentions of this can be found in Wilfred Owen's Disabled, where the author described his negligence in considering Germany and Austria (Lines 30-31). After the commencement of WW2, Austria declared itself a permanently neutral country it 1955, which it remains to be today.
