It is so prevalent that many people think that the fact is a scrund. What is it?

Ethnicities in Germany? The German language? Nazis? Physical features of people who live there? Politics?

Does it have to do with German history? thisish. Culture? also thisish. Geography? and thisish. Ethnicities in Germany? The German language? Nazis? Physical features of people who live there? Politics?
