I think that german, as it is known to be in today's modern world, is far from what it actually was or should be seen as. I think the image that Germany gives off is one of a copy-cat American culture, with only shadows of our true german past. The very government we had imposed on us is ungerman at it's source. The Germany today is like a captured ship with a foreign skeleton crew at the helm.
Even the Americans, at the begining of this past war, asked why the Germans didn't join with them in the Iraqi conflict. Putting all politics and reasons for war aside, the American public didn't understand what they had done to the German, post-WWII. Germany as whole was demasculated (neutered), and had radical liberalist philosophies take hold within a german's mind set, that any war is bad, and other hippie, free spirit, "tutti frutti" (to barrow a phrase) ideas that were imported directly from America.
So no, I don't believe that the true indentity of the German people is being portrayed. I even think that if you'd try to portray the true identity, you'd be called a racist, or something. Today's Europe is a Muli-Culti, Egalitarian bee's hive. America is the bee keeper.
