A lot of WWI casualty lists for Austria-Hungary are digitized & include unit with year and place of birth. Useful to genealogical research if you have ancestors who lived under the Hapsburgs.
Flipping through random pages of these Hapsburg casualty lists, there are almost invariably several ethnic Germans who are listed as born in Russia. Russians of the time were quite right to suspect the loyalty of their Germans, though some undoubtedly had true hearts.
