This was a very character building episode, but I still think it was a mistake to send Carter. There’s got to be someone dumber than Carter but with her level of stress resilience.
Well it’s the part where after the second world war Americans temporarily governed and American soldiers and their families where stationed. So all they ever saw of Germany was Bavaria. They took their experience back home and so the image spread.
Northern Germany is nothing like southern Germany. Yes they like their beer, but Bratwurst and pretzels? More fish and bread.
