The explaination of the word "Fingerspitzengefühl" is not really correct. Literally it translates to "finger tip feeling", and in a way thats what it stands for - to approach a situation or problem with great care or prudence. The word can be used in various contexts, from solving a technical problem to dealing with a emotionally distressed person. It has nothing to do with punctuality whatt so ever.

Autobahn: compared to the USA, significantly fewer people actually die in traffic in Germany. In the USA, a total of 43,000 people died in traffic accidents in 2022. In Germany there were only 2,800 people. The lack of a speed limit has little effect on the number of accidents, but good driver training does. In Germany you have to invest a good six months of time and several thousand euros in a driving license. There is practical and theoretical training and exams at the end. The normal speed on German motorways without speed limit should be between 140 and 180 km/h (87 to 112 mph). Only a few drive significantly faster. Often it is foreigners who want to try out the German Autobahn. Sometimes they start their journey home in a coffin.

To add to this. At least 50% of all cars on the road in the USA wouldn't be allowed in Germany or many other parts of Europe. No wonder so many people die in car accidents in the USA, when lousy (or even below lousy) driving skills are combined with junk cars held together with spit and duct tape.

According an investigation from Der Spiegel "In Germany it seems out of the question to introduce a speed limit. But now that new calculations show that this saves as many as 140 road deaths every year, a new clash between supporters and opponents seems inevitable." Just as the BS about Amsterdam and weed, Germany has the same problem, they have the Autobahn!! It is just a highway, and they are everywhere, only difference is that in China they don't call it Autobahn but something else. In the Netherlands they call it snelweg, and the only differences are the road signs.

Sorry to say this, but when asked how many accidents happen on Germany's roads, the answer is: fewer than in the USA, because in Europe we generally follow the road traffic rules. The US streets, on the other hand, look like a festival where everyone is looking for the next beer stand.

Traffic statistics say that in 2022, 2788 people died in traffic accidents in Germany, while in the USA there were 42795 deaths. Even though there are no permanent speed limits on 70-80% of the highways in Germany, we have a significantly lower mortality rate in traffic accidents than in the USA. In my opinion, this can be attributed to three main factors: 1. The driving license is only obtained in driving schools by trained driving instructors, which leads to much more intensive driving training. 2. Driving training and thus the driving license costs €2000 to €5000 in Germany and you can lose your driving license relatively quickly if you misbehave! So you drive in such a way that nothing happens if possible! 3. The German TüV/Dekra, which a vehicle has to go to every 2 years and is checked for road safety. If the TüV expires, the vehicle's registration expires and it is no longer allowed to drive on public roads!

Well, Germans built the first helicopter, the first jet plane and the first rocket. And of course there were german science fiction authors in the 1920s and 1930s who wrote about space travel and aliens. But there weren't really any ambitions to travel into space at that time. That was still a thing of the future.

Well... The V2 rocket, was the first man made object, which got out of our Atmosphere... And today Belgium, was for centuries a part of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation. This ended in 1806 and Belgium, was at that time, anexed by Napoleon. After his downfall, Belgium became 1815 part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. This ended in 1830 and formed the state we used today...

Belgium, or Austrian Netherlands, was invaded and annexed by the French in 1792/93. When in 1815 German Federation was founded, three non german kings had been Bundesfürsten/ Federation Princes: Britsh King as King of Hannover, Danish King as Duke of Holstein and Lauenburg ( he was also Duke of Schleswig, which was no part of German Federation), and Dutch King as Great Duke of Luxemburg.

"Fingerspitzengefühl" has nothing to do with punctuality "per se" it actually means just generally "to get things done/to approach things/situations concurrently with caution and precision"(= but valid for all life circumstances and aspects of life = in private life + business life where in some occasions "punctuality" also just - might - be a thing) literally translated it means "fingertip feeling" but the actual meaning is solely metaphorically and not literally at all which by the way many German compound words are. Beethoven wasn´t a German but born in the city of Bonn which is located in - today´s Germany..his ethnicity was actually Dutch and his parents were from the "Austrian Netherlands"(= which is today´s Northern Belgium by the way) and his whole musical carreer from start till end = till his death he lived solely in Vienna/Austria where he is also buried.. Therefore to claim he was German is actually a form of "Cultural Approbiation" just because he was randomly born in what is known - today - as Germany but which didn´t even exist at that time when Beethoven was born.. He actually was born as = "a citizen of the Holy Roman Empire of Dutch descent" - whose family moved from one part of the Empire (= Austrian Netherlands) into another part of the Empire (= city of Bonn) and their son Ludwig van Beethoven himself moved in the very moment as he became a self reliant adult from there into the Emperor´s city Vienna for the rest of his life.. And as the Holy Roman Empire vanished and didn´t exist anymore due to Napoleon he automatically became Austrian due to the fact of being a Viennese citizen living in Vienna because from now on all the Habsburg crownlands from the former "Holy Roman Empire" became the Austrian Empire and all citizen within became Austrians from now on .. So actually at first he was born as a citizen of the Holy Roman Empire (= Reichsbürger) who became then Austrian citizen due to historical circumstances/events (=Napoleon wars) and therefore he actually never was "a German" - neither - in "national terms" (because Germany/or a German Empire respectively didn´t exist before 1871 but the Austrian Empire did since 1805 = "during Beethoven´s lifetime" and he was then Austrian citizen because he lived there as the Holy Roman Empire declined) - nor - in "ethnic terms" (because he was of Dutch descent) even in his name is clearly Dutch "VAN Beethoven" and "Beethoven" was a village in the Austrian Netherlands / today´s Belgium village "Bettincourt" literally translated his name meant "Ludwig from Bettincourt"

The education for the driving license are really not the same as in the USA. They are long and very well trained with a lot of rules. Special at the autobahn you cannot drive as you want, like in the USA. And per capita , there are a good amount less accidents as in the USA. Accidents on the Autobahn are not so often, more in urban situation, because they are very aware that it is dangerous, not to pay high attention at the autobahn. And you are right - it was not the best movie at all. There are many better ones out there. Love from Austria 🇦🇹

Wernher von Braun, along with other German scientists, developed the V1 and V2 rockets on behalf of the Nazis, which were fired at Great Britain in the last months of World War II. These rockets contained almost 1 ton of explosives. Wernher von Braun willingly allowed himself to be captured by US soldiers, was brought to the USA because of his importance and was later responsible for NASA's space program, including the program that led to the landing on the moon. The first jet engine aircraft, the ME-262, also goes back to the work of German engineers who developed this fighter jet on behalf of the Nazis. US troops have transferred such machines to the USA. This was such advanced military technology at the time, that the US military did not have, that it defies description. Without the ME-262, the US military would not have been able to deploy fighter jets in the Korean War in the early 1950s. After World War II, thousands of patents from German companies went to the Allies and the Soviet Union. The Sputnik didn't come by chance either.

4:42 (Fingerspitzengefühl) doesn't fit at all in this context. Fingerspitzengefühl means something completely different. (Meaning from the German Duden: sensitivity; empathy in dealing with people and things) 8:06 Total road accidents 2023 2,400,000 accidents involving cars Road deaths: 2788 people (Germany currently has approx. 84,000,000 inhabitants) For comparison: USA accidents are perhaps 5 - 6 million per year. Traffic fatalities in 2022: around 42,000 Population 331,900,000 people But what he doesn't say here is that we have more than 26,000 castles in Germany, that German is also spoken in other parts of the world, that 7 million people emigrated to America via northern Germany and Porsche is a german car brand too.

Have you Americans who react to European videos on KZfaq ever noticed that in America you have to refer to your native people as "native Americans"!? This ensures that there are ethnic groups in America that lived in the USA before Europeans settled there. The various countries in Europe are exclusively populated by ethnic groups that have lived there for thousands of years. There has never been an influx comparable to the USA. Ergo, only indigenous people live in European countries.
