Germany, a country that knows how to deal with its past. Nowhere else are so many memorials for the victims of the country's past. And nowhere else are students supposed to know the whole history of the Holocaust. Once there was a Concentration Camp (by the way an English invention that was abused by the Nazis) in my neighbourhood and it now is a memorial, always visited by all kinds of people...
our grandfathers in germany killed 6 million people for no reason, but our children will know and won't repeat it.
Others killed more and no one knows.
What will happen next?

OK, before I get started on this definition can i just say that I am a half german half english person who has lived in Germany all her life, gone to german school and KNOWS about German culture so TRUST ME, i do know what I'm talking about!!
Germany is a country in central Europe, with a very good rep for cars, football and beer, all of which I have to agree are very good. Ýes, they have also killed countless Jews and are also largely at fault for two terrible World Wars, and let me tell you something WE ARE NOT PROUD OF IT!!! NO self respecting German would ever come out and say he was proud of what Hitler did (who, by the way was from Austria) and We also don't want it repeated. Every country has a past and I think the people who are still trashing us because of it, need to realize that it was 60 years ago and most of the people who were involved in it have by now infact died of old age. Anyone in Germany who is still a Nazi (which, may I point out amounts to about the same percentage of Racist swines in England, America, poland, or any other country on the face of this planet) is not honoured by all fellow cicizens and Nazis are as hated here as anywhere else. indeed, probably more hated, because of all the horrible stuff they did and have earned us a reputation for Racism and evilness which doesn't fit into modern German society.
Despite this, contrary to what that Person from munich down there said, German people are proud to be German, but this is NOT because of the WWs but because we really d have a great country. The Music here is awesome, our football team is the best in the world (well, we think so...) and we produce amazing beer and cars for all occasions. Germany has a very "Proud to be German" feel about it, a sort of defence mechanism, whenever anyone brings up Hitler. This does NOT mean "We are proud to be german and hate all who are of a different race or belief than us and wish to kill them all." I mean, anyone living in Germany will appreciate how many turkish people there are here, and how many polish people. Without them, there would not be even nearly as many people in this beautifull country.
Another poular misconception of Germany, is that we all wear Lederhosen (thats tight trousers made out of Leather), and eat sauerkraut all day. I can infact assure you, this is not the case. the only place in Germany ANYONE wears these hideous Garments is in Bayern (Bavaria) where the only real reason they are donned, is for American tourists to take pictures of them and say they went somewhere "real traditional" .
Also, the german speaking Music market is very poular here, comprised of acts full of variety from Fler to Revolverheld to Jeanette Biedermann. The German Hip Hop scene considers itself to be "hardcore" and full of Murder, Drugs, hard youths and hoes, and anyone who listens to German Hip Hop (as a real fan) will talk about Berlin in a manner that suggests it to be the most hardcore city in the world, which of course everyone who has ever been to New York knows it is not. If you however, dare to defie them in their strong beleif that they are ard UNDEGROUNG Gangstas you will suffer seroious abuse.
The German Rock scene is dominated by non punk rockers, but is also very popular.

Get the Germany mug.Often referred to as Gtown, or the last bit of civilization before Frederick or Damascus. Germantown is a small town in Maryland with the most eclectic population of people ever. Rednecks, gangsters, preps, working joes, working stiffs and hippie’s all living together. Most locals are known for their ability to drink unsuspecting visitors under the table and then walk out on the check.

Get the German Knuckle Cake mug.A pretend language comprised of poorly pronounced or spelt German by a native English speaker. The word can be either thought of as partly german (hense the -ish) or a mixture between German and English (German-English with "engl" removed). Common attempted german words include sehr, grob (instead of groß) and anything you might expect to have learnt in a year at school.
Person1: Ish bin sehr grob. Mein kat izt grob. Ich kan nisht spreken doitsh...
Person2: That's not german, thats germanish.
Person2: That's not german, thats germanish.
