First thoughts when you hear germany?

[Double A]

Sausages and other kinds of tasty meat.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Oktoberfest... More importantly hot busty blondes serving ale by the 2ltr tankard!

 

[sms_117b]

Depends on who asks me, sometimes it is Nazi Germany, other times it's precision engineering.

 

[TheIronRuler]

I know the game- and filmindustry trys very hard to keep everyone thinking that germans are still Nazis. But I´ve got fate that the escapists think different, so tell me (if you don´t mind) what is the first thing that comes to your mind exept a big empty cinema with zombies in brown uniforms and obvious poses attacking you (and maybe a friend).

.
I think of the Holy Roman Empire and The Councillor Otto von Bismark.

 

[Mitchell Osborn]

First thought that comes to mind is Command and Conquer: Germany has the Tank Destroyers.

 

[Athol]

Spoiler: Nice cars

Spoiler: Good guns

Spoiler: Hot women

Not necessarily in that order


...also a language I want to learn purely so I can yell at people in it.

 

[AwkwardTurtle]

I tend to think about beer, and then I think about the accents that Germans have. I love accents. o-o'

 

[PZF]

First though was of their flag, then beer.

 

[Ventuquies]

green meadows, churches, cars and beer

 

[Sr. Taco]

Wiener schnitzel. First thing that pops up, no idea why.

 

[yman15]

First German people, then German the language, then WWII, then uh yah Nazi's

 

[Freaky Lou]

I think of this guy:

Spoiler

and of flaming karate chops.

Beyond that I think of hard, cold boots, gray rain, and quality craftsmanship.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Germany? Beer. That's the first thought. Then I think of classical music and Beethoven, Bach, Wagner, etc.

I think about Bismarck. And how the Empire entered WWI. And how that led to WWII. And the Berlin Wall.

I think of many other things than just the Nazis.

Spoiler: And this of course.

 

[arnoldthebird]

Mercedes Benz, cause they are a brilliant vehicle manufacturer

Then Hitler

Then a language that has really bizarre words, I just can't pronounce the words

 

[maxmanrules]

Spoiler: Nice cars

Spoiler: Good guns

Spoiler: Hot women

Not necessarily in that order

Try DU BIST EIN HERZLICHEN GLUCKWUNSCH!!! (you are a congratulations)
It makes no sense, but sounds awesome.
Also, freizeitbeschäftigungen (free-time activities) and weihnachtsplätzchen.(particularly festive, this death threat means Christmas cookies.)

 

[Thistlehart]

Engineering and beer, both of high quality.

 

[Kingjackl]

I imagine the German Club in my city 'vere ze lager is hearty und ze service is efficient!' Actually, i just think of a whole lot of Top Gear style 'Boring, yet ultra-practical German stereotype' jokes. Which is still an undeserved stereotype, but I suppose it's better than being a Nazi.

 

[Chalacachaca]

World War II, a really shameful period in the history of what otherwise is a really great nation. Then Oktoberfest, and amazing beer.

 

[CulixCupric]

seriously, first thought is "van helsing vs. dracula".

 

[DanielBrown]

Awesome thrash metal, beer, scat and weird porn in general and WWII(can't be helped :<).
