From Maserīs "Hitler"
Hitler was released from Austrian ( Austro-Hungarian?) army service on Feb 5th 1914 in Salzburg for being too weak to serve ( it is suspected his "lung disease" was the cause ).
----------
So this means he was not in Germany in order to stay out of army really. But he was not prepared to fight for the Austrian army, but for the German army yes!
