Answer 1

Yes, that ancient trauma has left a deep imprint on the Teutonic soul. The loss of parts of Papua New Guinea during WW1 must have been the trigger, which would explain the slightly cannibalistic tendencies still observable at German-frequented, Italian beaches today.

Answer 2

Probably because it is rainy and dreary most of the time in Germany...
