It's sad that the people of Beethoven, Goethe, Wagner and Bach is only honored by beer-drinking guys wearing lederhosen.

@manq211 Biggest kicker of them all is the Steuben Parade in NYC. I know it is meant to be just fun, but Bavarians in Lederhosen marching in honour of a PRUSSIAN general....imagine Scotsmen marching in honour of King Edward.....
