The postwar German government goes to great lengths in public relations exercises to distance itself from the Third Reich.
The government's news source "Deutsche Welle" is a key resource for that effort.
But here's what a lot of people don't understand about Germany:
Germany is a police state. It always has been since the unification of 1871. The German people know no other form of government and are often content with that form of government.
Thus, the control-freak approach to covid and the draconian repression of dissent is nothing surprising. The nonsense with the courts described above is practically an everyday exercise in Germany. And people who fight the system end up in state-run psychiatric care facilities for being "anti social".
Ordinary Germans understand what their government is capable of and strive to avoid conflict with the authorities.
You won't see comments describing Germany in this way in the media. And we all know why.
Cheers
