Once all the Germans were warlike and mean,
But that couldn’t happen again.
We taught them a lesson in nineteen eighteen,
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then.
— Tom Lehrer

LOL! That song dates to 1965 when NATO proposed a multilateral nuclear force (”And one of the fingers on the button will be German”).

The pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction, IMO.
