Doc, please don't repeat the same mistake as most Americans (inclusive Hollywood) have been doing so far: Don't reduce Germany down to Hitler, Hofbräuhaus, Lederhosen, Heidelberg, and other stereotypes. Also, the country is not ultra socialist! More than 50% would vote for conservative parties at present, if there were an election.
Also, I never got acquainted with a woman in more or less attractive age not being shaved ...
As far as women are concerned, better to provide, that for example less of the square-white-chalk-broken-off-nails look taste comes across the large pond!!!
As for foreign tourists to be welcome: They are highly welcome, especially American tourists. Of course do we have some areas of reservation against those ethnical groups in this country that overstress the hospitality and tolerance - just the same reaction as in every other country on this globe.
Some 40 years ago, when our long time U.S. friends came for their first visit, their teenie kids were surprised to find electric light, trams, and big modern cities here in Germany. I hope, that since then ample knowledge about America's ancestors have come up by now. Consider the big share of German emigrants that took part in settling - and ALMOST even in language (there were only few votes more for English).
And whenever you mention Hitler and his gang for their crimes, you should mention Stalin as well who was responsible for 10 times more murders ... and those who were resonsible
for killing the red and the black in millions over the centuries.
Sorry, but I should defend my country up to a certain degree.
