Well, I had several good laughs when rewading that article, it is written in a laconic tone, and I do not think that tabloids like the Sun represents all what Britains think of Germans. So - knowing that quite some people here speak sometimes more, sometimes less German, I linked it, as kind of a joke. However, there is some truth in it, where it says: "Nazis are sexy, evil has it's own kind of attraction." The fascination of the danger one has survived - will stick to the Germans for quite some more time, I think. Also the envy for the Wirtschaftswunder, which, so the article, made the British asking: "Who has won the war anyway?"
If you understand it (German), read it and smile. It does not get eaten as hot as it was cooked.
Concenring the Russian issue (which has no room in this thread anyway), we have plenty of Russians in Germany, and I by far cannot say that the older ones show a special hostility towards Germans, while the younger ones often are a bit shy and tend to try to stay with their likes. But all in all, the usual guys and the older ones are different to German's standard mentality and behavior, and are more friendly and more "zurückhaltend" (guarded?), which I often experience to be a more pleasant, agreeable way of behaving than what many Germans are showing in behavior. It reminfds me a bit of what could be called "good old school", which I mean as a compliment.
Except Russian "nouveau riches", whose arrogance really make them a plague. But that is not different with nouveau riches of other nationalities as well.
