Forschungszentrum Jülich? Ministerpräsident?

This whole thing sounds like a prelude to Hitler emerging from his Antarctic secret ice fortress and founding the Fourth Reich.

I don't understand the big deal. Anything that the Germans build will be overly complex and expensive to maintain. And it will spend more time in the shop than in use.

I agree. The Germans are a great people, hardy, intelligent, focused. Hell, there trains even run on time. Well, at least they did before the influx of N. Africans and Middle Easterners turned there once beautiful country into a third world cesspool. Much like 3rd world immigration is doing to the US.

One People, One Reich....

Except for war, Adolph new what he was talking about. Too bad Europe and the USA was stupid enough to egg on a war with him. We would not be in the mess we are in now if the white race stuck together......now we have Muslims and others living in Europe, and blacks reaking havoc in the USA.

I don't know what Germany you have been to in the last 20 years but they are some of the laziest people on the planet. Good luck getting a cup of coffee while your waitress takes her 8th smoking break of the hour.

There is a reason they are called 'the sick old man of Europe'- their economy stinks due to an embedded culture of laziness and entitlement.
