But for the rest, I think thats more or less a cliché - same exists for Americans from a European or German point of view as well. Question is - what do Americans (or the rest of the world - I am not sure who was addressed in that poll) know about Germany - and I mean Germany, not Bavaria.

A good source of information is this blog written by an American for his German mother-in-law: http://nothingforungood.com/

Have fun - at least I do

P.S.: This is a nice start to read - http://nothingforungood.com/2008/05/...-of-the-world/
well the wars was my initial thought but didn't want to believe it because WW2 ended almost 70 years ago. The poll was answered by Europeans, not Americans, and haven't looked at the poll. I will read those blogs soon. And I hate to admit it but I don't know much about Germany other than the wars and Angela Merkel.
