He was born in Austria as an Austrian citizen and raised in Linz and lived in Vienna for a while but moved to Munich (a German city) at the age of 25. He renounced his Austrian citizenship in 1927, despite the fact that this made him stateless. He acquired German citizenship in February 1932. It was granted by the state of Brunswick, which was ruled by a coalition that included the Nazis. Under German nationality law at the time, anyone lawfully granted citizenship of one of the German states automatically acquired German citizenship.
No, Hitler was born in Austria and was an Austrian until 1932, when he got German citizenship.

One cannot make a nationality distinction between Austrian or German prior to 1945, as an Austrian at the time would call himself German. He was, however, born of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, making his citizenship Austrian - he chose in World War 1 to fight in the Bavarian Army (which was part of the German Empire).

His nationality was Austrian.

His ethnicity was German.

Some of them probably joined the Nazis after they invaded Austria, but the Nazis were acually from Germany.

Adolf Hitler was born an Austrian but later gained a German citizenship.
