One of my favorite movies. Mostly because of Christoph Waltz who is such a great actor in several languages and Hugo Stiglitz.

You are not the German guy.

Is your last name Hitler?

Nope. Is your's?

As far as I know all my relitives including any German ones were not on the side of the Führer. Many of them who lived in that area at the time made it into one of the camps set up for such persons.

I never met any of them. I'm not sure if my mom actually met one of her relitives with a fancy arm tattoo or if my grandfather had told her about them. I know she had met someone we were not related to with one either when I was very small or before I was born. Might have been while working in a hospital.

My biological grandfather held a mild hatred for Germans and never knew his bride was half German, he died a year or so before my parents were married. My uncle found out his grand mother was German after his mom had passed away.

My grandma married a nice German man named Jans a couple of years later just before I was born. When he was in his seventies, I took him to the zoo for the first time in his life to see animals that were not cows, sheep, dogs etc. you'd find on a farm. He would look at one for under a minute then move on to the next one until we arrived and the Orangutan. We watched the Orangutan for around half an hour, then he said abruptly. "Good, let's go get some lunch. I'll buy you a hamburger." While we had lunch he paused and said, "You know? That monkey sure was something. I never saw anything like that in my life."

I've seen your people, they're all small. Are you like the little people of Germany? Why would they want little people in the army??

Dwarves are pretty much the Germans of Middle Earth.

On a related note, there's a strong change I'll get this tattooed on me tomorrow:
