Being German

Descendent we are forefather’d as we are (not all obviously), from the Germanic tribes. Around the year zero we emerged out of those dark primordial winter forests, fully formed and tribal. Not to get too historical, however. The fun part is we get to choose which one of these we want to be, choose imaginary friends and foes so let’s see - Saxons Angles Jutes Friesians Franks Hermione’s Churusi Suebi Marcomanni Alemanni Lombards Goths Vandals Burgundians Herull Finns and Skandza. Trouble is, all too often it Just sucks to be German.
