I've worked for many years with Germans and Americans
The Germans are OK once you get past the officious stereotype which is alive and well. They're far more like us culturally than the yanks, and easier to understand and go for a beer with. Working with yanks is impossible...

And the Germans will at least admit that the Second World War
started in 1939. Not 194-fucking-2 or whatever the Yanks think it is...

When working in a bar
Id been serving/evesdropping on 2 very obnoxious Americans wittering on about how we would all be speaking German if it wasnt for them, they have the best armed forces in the world etc, the row when I asked them what went wrong in Vietnam then? still brings a smile to my face to this day :)

Nice one!
I sometimes wish the French would make a bit more of an effort to point out that, whilst they didn't take long to cave in after Nazi Germany marched across the border, at least they were there from the start, unlike those hamburger-munching Johnny-come-latelies.

They are cunning and usually prepared for that one
"We were withdrawn just as we had magnificently adapted to their theatre of war and guerrilla tactics and were beginning to getting the upper hand. That apologist Kissinger didn't have the stomach to finish the fight, we could have pissed it blah waffle come on get some GET SOME"
