Calling all Germans re 'The Germans'...


I've just re-watched this (and chuckled all the way through) for the umpteenth time... And it occurred to me that as this series has been translated into most languages, how did they deal with this episode in Germany?.. Was it simply never shown?.. And just out of academic interest, Haben Sie es gern? ...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...

One of my German-American friends showed this to visiting relatives. Everyone found it very funny except for one who found it boring.
