Indeed, very funny Theoretically all Germans could also move to Britain or France or Andorra, no old alliances there...

by clicking the usernames of the people who post comments saying germans are nazis, youll find that most of them, if not all, live in USA. im not trying to sound offending, but it came as no surprise. there are so many people who are like that, you just have to ignore it.
It might have something to do with PEGIDA, the attacks (Refugee Crisis Drives Rise of New Right Wing in Germany - SPIEGEL ONLINE) and the social acceptance of racism (e.g. https://www.rt.com/news/314016-germa...acist-twitter/ ) and generally in the CDU/CSU, NPD, this sort of junk is acceptable - http://www.buzzfeed.com/philippjahne...us#.vfzYW9BV6J , the widespread racism throughout all sections of society.

Germany is an export champ but a cultural and creative midget.

Vicarious glory should not cloud reality.

ETC..

Since then I discovered a lot of really interesting history about my extended inlaws and I hope I was able to fill in a few blanks for them as well.

Since then I have taken frequent holidays in Germany.
I've been to Berlin.
I've been to Munich twice.
In every way, I have found Germany and Germans thoroughly polite and kind - despite my poor command of the German language.
Yeah they are a very nice welcoming people and sometimes have very beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed women. Many are jealous and want to attach stereotypes to them only because of the past. You should be proud of your German ancestry.
