Stereotypes about the Germans...Well, we as Dutch have plenty of them :)
- loud
- always in groups and then even louder
- refuse to speak Dutch and start speaking immediately in German
- they are all fat and drink beer all the time (their beer is very good though)
- they come and invade/occupy our beaches: nothing has changed in 70 years
- girls are oversexed
- take up all the space wherever they go and claim it as their own
- we have a joke about them: what is the smalles book in history? Answer: "The History of German Humor" (others are: "French Militairy Victories" and "A History of the Italian Militairy Power")
...to name but a few :)
Pope John Paul II
He's not seen as a hero everywhere, mind you! You forget your main figures: Chopin and Sosabowski, anybody?
3) Football Cavemen (can't play it)
And this is not true? :)
