Austria got off fairly easy with damage from the war, correct?

The big urban areas and steel industry/railway areas were pretty heavily bombed by the Allies though, comparable with Germany's cities. Vienna was quite destroyed.

The rural areas not so much. Why would they ? There's nothing to bomb there, except a few cattle fields or mountains. In war, it makes no strategic sense to bomb rural areas - unless there are resistance groups left somewhere. Allthough the Allies dropped a few superfluous bombs over rural parts of the country.

The Nazis weren't as bad as one would have expected w/r/t black people, yes?

No. The Nazis considered black people as "subhuman" too. The fact that they "only" got sent to KZs in the last years and not from the start (like Jews) is due to the fact that there were only a handful of black people in Nazi Austro-Germany at that time. Jews/disabled/Roma/Homosexuals were all seen as a "more imminent and bigger threat" to the Nazis than Blacks ...
