Yes, of course, I was in generalising mode (many US Americans seem to
think that all Germans run around in Lederhosen, drinking beer and
eating Sauerkraut, listening to Blaskapelle and singing about
Gemütlichkeit).

Those I see on TV are drinking beer. But most Germans I see on US TV
are beer-drinking sausage-eating WW!!-vintage soldiers with British
accents, so reality is not heavily involved in any perception.

I was going to say that the 60s TV show "Hogan's Heros" would be most US folks impression of Germans.
