I don’t know who made this comic but as a 100% born and bred dutchman I can tell you we don’t speak english with a german accent. Any association with germany is highly offensive to us because we lost the worldcup soccer in ’74 to them! 😉

Most dutch speak english, french and german fluently because they are our neighbors.
