We might joke about wanting our grandpa's bicycles back, but me, nor anyone I've ever known, have ever held any resentment against the Germans, especially today's generations, who had nothing at all to do with it of course!

As someone half Dutch half German and a 90s baby I did get called a Mof sometimes when I was a kid but otherwise I've never had a bad experience. Plus good grades for German in highschool

We might joke in evening comedy shows about solving every problem that arises by flooding Holland, and then elaborate on how on earth things likr trees dying in the Bavarian forest, pigeons pooping on cars, an increase in foxes in the cities, and a lack of cheese in the supermarkets would ever be solved by that. But in truth we love you. And we'd send some extra long stilts if Holland would actually flood.
Last line is just a joke. We'd send proper help. But the rest was actually a recurring sketch in the 90s comedy show "Die Wochenshow". Sadly, I have yet to find any videos of this sketch on youtube.
We love the Dutch. All of them, not just those from Holland.
