No need to. I can get all the German food I want here.

And if I want to see a bunch of silly Germans dressed up in short leather pants, I'll just go to the Oktoberfest held in every city of this country.

This isn't the travel forum. Since it's history lets discuss the creation of East Germany. It started with FDR's friendship with Stalin. Churchill claimed the policies led to the "Iron Curtain". When The Russians were building the notorious "wall" during the JFK administration, he took a trip to Germany, gave a rousing speech that the media loved and left the Germans to be shot in the back for the next 25 years or so. The wall came own during the Reagan administration and all of a sudden former Russian president Gorbachov, known affectionately as Gorbey by the left, was the darling of liberals who conveniently forgot that he presided over the atrocities for a couple of years.
