Let's think of tv shows that had any Germans in them:
Colditz, Dad's Army, Allo, Allo, Fawlty Towers, League of Gentlemen.Add on Great Escape every Xmas, and all the other ww2 movies it is hard to think of a +ve or sympathetic German on tv outside of 'our' German football players, Uwe Rossler, Jurgen Klinnsman, Michael Ballack, etc.

League of Gentlemen
Wasn't Herr Lipp Austrian?

We take the piss something awful out of the Germans in NL... but it doesn't seep into the countries sub conscience of "this is still a bad country"
Of course there are complaints that Germany has too much power in the EU, but it is more from a political "this is now" place not a "ww2" place.

TL:DR WW2 and "Germans are all Nazis" never ended in the mind of some Brits. And with Brits it really seems to be England...I've never heard that sort of paranoid nonsense in NI politics.
