Is it true that Germans secretly want to control Europe with the EU?

If so, do you need to talk about it?

Personally, I defeat them with my charm and impeccable language thingy.

I haven't heard about it, but it is conceivable. I have been on many nudist holidays. Not with russians, though.

No, they don't want to do it secretly.

The english translation is very close. The original is in a slightly more poetic register using some slightly old fashioned language, which makes it sound a bit archaic, matching the nationalism, but the meaning is preserved.

Yes, in many forms, apart from bavarian helles and dunkles, I particularly like IPA and other ales.

Is the Chinese translation on top close, and how does it sound?   And where in the world does one need to cater to such a trilingual audience?

Also, why is that SS panzer commander fighting Henry Fonda during the battle of the bulge with a fleet of m-47 Patton tanks on an Iberian landscape without any snow?
