How about a month for the nation that has indisputably contributed more to the USA than any other, including food?
Did you know that your "Hot Dog" comes from Germany?
Did you know that your "Hamburger" comes from Germany?
Did you know that your all-American "Apple Pie" comes from Germany?
Did you know that your dairy industry was founded exclusively by Germans? Not only the American, but that of many other countries as well, such as Chile for example.
Did you know that Oscar Meyer of meat-packing fame, was German? The finest meat-packing companies in South America are those from the South of Chile, purely of German origin, going back 150 years!
Did you know that the greatest American car ever built, the mighty DuesenbergImperial Hotel Auto Museum in Las Vegas Nevada to see the greatest collection of Duesenbergs on the planet.
Did you know that the most famous Japanese car ever built, the Datsun 240 Z was designed by Albrecht Goertz, a German designer?
Did you know that the most revolutionary Japanese motorcycle of all time, the Suzuki Katana of 1980, was designed by a design studio in Germany?
Did you know that Porsche Design redesigned & thereby saved your American icon, the Harley-Davidson? Harley on their own was going broke. After the Porsche reworked it has become one of the most recognized names in the motorcycle world. By all rights, today’s Harleys ought to be known as Porsche/Harleys. The initial re-design wasn’t the end of it. All subsequent models have been designed mostly by Porsche.
Did you know that the entirety of NASA was founded by German engineers and is based on German technology? That the moon rocket of 1969 was a grandson of the famed V2 rocket of Germany? That all space exploration is based on the German model? One hears TV reporters waxing eloquently about the now defunct Russian MIR space station, while assiduously ignoring that it’s based on German technology and that the German engineers who were kidnapped by the Russians were worked to death. None of them ever saw their families again. Mustn’t embarass our former allies now, must we? But abusing the Germans is a safe bet.
Yes, we should.

Yeah, Germans also killed 6 million Jews.
Not a good political move to try to move that one forward.

Yes, Germany has made many contributions to American society as have all other countries. America is a melting pot.
Did you actually say "famed V2 rocket of Germany," as in "V" for "Vengeance?" Yes, I’m sure the residents of London were very impressed. You claim that the U.S. did not want to embarrass its former ally, the Soviet Union. You are aware that that alliance came to an abrupt end after World War II, right? Cold War? Ring any bells?
I will admit that Germany helped countless young Americans tour Europe in the 1940s. In light of the Holocaust, though, please stop whining about being abused.
