What's not to like about Germany save for a decade or two in the 20th century?
Honorable mention goes to Iceland, but they are in our group so screw em.

Yes what’s not like, except for mass genocide and being the major catalyst in starting two world wars while commiting war crimes that had never been seen in human history. There’s a lot not to like, and while Germany has been very accepting and sorry about their past it still resonates with many cultures and peoples who were victimized by the Germans. Just saying.
Not trying to make this into a political or historical debate, just wanted to point out that resentment towards Germany is far more complicated than just saying “ya they were bad for 1 or 2 decades but who cares.” This was only 70 years ago, many people still care.
