To me, Germans are definitely the smartest ppl in the west. Scientific research, automobile, sports, military; they excel in all of them

Germany has world's third most nobel holders after USA and UK. and most of USA nobel winners are germans
Automobile like vw, mercs, audi are german brands
Sports, everytime olympic, germany came up top 10 most medals, and fifa world cup win 4 times
military, until today ppl oso keep mentioning hitler and nazi
And although they lost during WW2, Germany propels again in 80s after Plaza Accord, and today, remain the largest economy (nominal) in Europe continent, and 2nd largest in the west after USA. and USA is so strong thanks to their large population of German ancestry.

so, why are Germans so smart?
