did Germany already have the current level of universally respect before ww2 or is it entirely due to their feats in that war
>>224503155Germany was the country of Goethe and Wagner and then they sperged and threw it all away. Now half their former country is occupied by Slavic janitors and then remaining half is filled with Turkroaches and Sryapians.

>>224503155idk what you mean as "respect" but Germany was much more influential before WW2 than now, maybe not as much economically (but still) but culturally it's like two different worlds. German cinema was dominating Europe and even partially America, German literature was among the most prominent in the world, German language was considered Europe's lingua franca along with English and even more than French (maybe except for diplomacy). I just casually read pre-WW2 newspapers from my country and like 80% of language teaching ads was about German, then some French and English was nothing more but curiosity for posh elites. Now it's like the other way round.
