You can use the same banner for Italia. A common german joke is "Why do italian army boots have rear mirrors? So the soldiers are able to see the frontline."

ye i know it with italian tanks though,  cause it was commonly accepted in german army to think of italians not being able to do anything right in ww2

Ehm, but today we think it about the french that they have never been able to do anything right when it comes to warfare.
Germany might have lost 2 WWs but they always won their wars vs. France.  :)

no,  this perception comes from the americans and became international through globalization.  if germany would be a world power instead of america, maybe italians would be ridiculed like todays french

another german saying was:  true like a tomoto.  tomatos being italians (cause we got our tomatos from there),  this relates to our strongest allies of ww2 switching sides and hence forth not being true.

notes on the side: 
americans didnt win a war since ww2 ^^
french had napoleon and HAVE the legion étrangère,  so all this gay french coward business is just a way to tease with out any real background imo

Well I think they successfully occupied Grenada in the 80s. Really heroic. When will they declare war on Liechtenstein?

Inhabitants of what is today France have been renowned for an exceptional martial culture from at least the time of the Gauls (before Roman conquest), to the Frankish Empire, to Napoleon, and France was a major power throughout the Imperial Age until the Great War (and still is, one of the worlds strongest military- and nuclear powers).

Germany rolled over France in the Franco-Prussian War and in WWII, and America (which owes its existance in no small part to France), and much of Europe seeing a recent display of the shift in mainland power balance, have had a social trend to categorize them as cowards ever since the Blitzkrieg, where in truth probably no country in the world could hope to stand against the top-modern tactics, equipment and personnel of the German army anno 1940, if being so unfortunate as to share borders with the Third Reich.

Francophobia in the US stems from the 2003 French refusal to join the illegal war against Iraq ('freedom fries'), and has also been inherited from the English.

(click to show/hide)

true true.  in the end it comes down to a country preparing a war for ten years vs countries having a prep phase of a few weeks,  months tops,  because all of europe hoped it wouldnt come to a second great war : /
also the french were completely stunned by chocolate chip cookiees attacking plan on the west front,  they had their main forces deployed in the boarder regions and got take by surprise of the benelux blitz. 

crpg related fact concidering the german-francophone tank war:  germans where first to have on board radio,  allied tanks still used flag signals like ships at ww2s beginning.  its like having a coordinated +3 tincan army on ts vs non loomed randomers :(


in the end it comes down to the fun of teasing each other as nations (the only thing nations are good for anyway,  is the humor arising with that :D)
germans, scottisch, french, english, americans, canadians,  indians, pakistani, chinese, we all have sth funny to say about them without meaning it : )

true but a)its more fun saying they didnt
and b) intervening in a war that cant be lost like the 1st golf war and then not completing it  and letting down hundreds of rebels in iraq who subsequently get slayn aint rly a win.

I hate America and I don't think they really won anything the last hundred years but from the facts they've kinda won :/
(Besides that both invasions in Iraq were pure bullshit or to be accurate warcrimes IMO.)

Never because Lichtenstein doesn't have any important ressources to start a war for

And Lichtenstein is protected by Switzerland and they would simply freeze all bankaccounts.
