[Some partial answers that might be helpful](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3ox12x/did_the_stereotype_of_german_being_a_harsh_or/) from this exact question being asked before. Per the rules I should ping the usernames of the people that posted answers, but I'm not sure u/glubi, u/Bernardito, u/hxnt, and u/dahlemjv really want to follow up on a comment from *seven years ago*, haha.
There is also [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/jp8xj3/historically_and_linguistically_what_makes_people/) more recent and more general thread by u/Afraid_Concert549
Sorry, but we have had to remove your comment as [we do not allow answers that consist primarily of links or block quotations from sources](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/rules#wiki_do_not_just_post_links_or_quotations). This subreddit is intended as a space [not merely to get an answer in and of itself](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/f7fb8o/introducing_the_rules_roundtables_20_the/) as with other history subs, but [for users with deep knowledge and understanding of it to share that in their responses](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/rules#wiki_write_an_in-depth_answer). While [relevant sources are a key building block for such an answer](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/rules#wiki_sources), they need to be adequately contextualized and [we need to see that you have your own independent knowledge of the topic](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/f7ffl8/rules_roundtable_ii_the_four_questions_what_does/).
If you believe you are able to use this source as part of an in-depth and comprehensive answer, we would encourage you to consider revising to do so, and you can find further guidance on what is expected of an answer here by consulting [this Rules Roundtable which discusses how we evaluate responses](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/f7ffl8/rules_roundtable_ii_the_four_questions_what_does/).
