Potheads and techno. I've lived with 5 Germans and they were all potheads who listened to techno 12+ hours a day at a volume that made the furniture in my adjacent room vibrate. Never again will I live with a German, for the daily smell of pot throughout all the house is not one I enjoy.
I wonder if it's a generational thing. Or maybe it's only the Germans who move to Holland. Anyway, that's my experience with Germans, so it's logically my first thought.

well, I can speak a little bit of German and have a lot of German friends, but I usually think of extremley precise standards.
Also, whilst here: Germany is responsible for the worst excuse for a human being ever created, can you guess who?

David Hasselhoff, Hitler was AUSTRIAN and his name was Houtler but he changed it to sound more german.
First thing to come to my mind? Guy in lederhosen drinking beer. Not sure why 
Second thing is the autobahn, and I know that's from watching Top Gear.

Here is a list of things that come to mind when someone mentions 'Germany' or 'Germans':
A very attractive girl at work with a Danish name (she's a Holsteiner, let's just be clear)
Gerhard Johan David von Scharnhorst
My ex-girlfriend
The Golden Age of Physics
Erich von Manstein
Immanuel Kant
the youngest nation in western Europe
Oktoberfest and being drunk at nine in the morning
Bayerisch is a weird language
Funky titles (of nobility)
Awesome looking castles
Invaliedenhof
der Siegesaule
Helmuth von Moltke the Elder
Huegenots
Hohenzollern
the Ghost Division
Krupp
Dreyse
My belief that German is a sexy language (much to the bewilderment of those around me)
Hall of Mirrors
Potsdam
Sanssouci
I leave the 'thinking of Nazis' to others...

First thing I think of is WWII, Which then makes me feel guilty, because the Germans aren't STILL like that, so i feel like a dick. Then I think of the german food, like shnizles. (God knows how i'm supposed to spell that.)

Ill be honest, First thing that comes to mind when I hear Germany is:

Ill say one thing, the Nazi leaders has some fucked up ideology, but the German Army did have some kick-ass tanks, guns and they where the best dressed army the world has ever seen.

I get a mental image of the country on a map, and Oktoberfest.
