So, Indian history is often incomplete, for example missing the last 65+ years. You can imagine the first thing many Indians bring up on meeting Germans, while I busy myself trying not to burst out with "Don't mention the war" in the manner of John Cleese. I have instead settled on "I'm staying out of this one" (like Switzerland)
A more awkward example, unfortunately directed at some German tourists too young to really understand, contains the following moments
"You are from Germany"
"German, You hate Jews?"
"Blonde Hair, you Aryans, light skin"
"Hitler, He's Germany leader... Good man, likes aryans"
Not even touching this one!
