The FW-190, with the lovely way they faired that radial engine into the slim body, and the ME-262 with clean and graceful lines, did look nice.
And it's a pity our tank crews never had a tank as well armored as a Panther or as well armed as Tiger, or as well BOTH as a T-34, and had to rely on sheer numbers, better logistics and air superiority and still often came to grief in their Sherman/Ronsons.
FWIW, we have some long time (over 35 years) very good friends in the Stuttgart area, and really enjoy our times in Germany and in der Schweiz.
But appreciating some good design and collecting hordes of good German* soldiers are two different things. I might feel a little different if some of those little plastic people were unshaven, ragged, wounded, etc., rather than looking like they just stepped off the cover of "Signal!", and their equipment didn't look like typical Swiss stuff freshly washed and waxed preparatory to rolling back into their hillside bunker-garage. It's like a railroad layout full of shiny new painted freight cars, with pristine track and ballast, and Plasticville crew-cut lawns around the houses. A little weathering, clutter and wear and tear would go a long ways to making the display seem less like a Leni Riefenstahl set for a F?hrer parade.
PS - hear about the new movie with George Clooney, Matt Damon, Tobey Maquire and Alec Baldwin? "The Good German Shepherd"
