The Germans. :eek:

The Kaiser got bored so he offed:
1,700,000 Russians
1,385,000 Frogs
703,000 Brits (rain stopped play)
117,000 Americans (thought the party was at #4 next door)
Just to plant a garden in Flanders.

11,000,000 Russian soldiers and 6,700,000 civilians snuffed it cuz Hitler fancied a bigger backyard.
5.1 to over 6 million Jews perished because he couldn't get an overdraft.
10,000 Allied dead on D-Day just to set up some deck chairs.

They made a mess of Coventry and London and our Navy started to turn into single-use submarines.

The only music worth listening to which has emerged from that joyless nation is Kraftwerk and to date not a single joke has. Still, we live in hope.

Does anyone actually like these people? :)

Ok, so apart from: Opera, philosophy, the reformation, dead composers, holding back the Romans, VW's-Mercedes-BMW's, increased sales of beach towels in Spain, acute business sense, being the first to use jet fighters, infro-red vision and ballistic rockets.

What have the Germans ever done for us?
