• Adolf Hitler was a German dictator, who led the Reichstag elections.

SportsThe sports in Germany are like in any other countries, but they have a great football team, so good they won the world cup many times like 2014.
Wildlife
Alpine IbexThe Alpine Ibex is a species of wild goat that lives in the mountains of the European Alps. Ibexes are strictly herbivorous and survive on a diet of grass, moss, flowers, leaves and twigs. If leaves and shoots are out of reach, Ibexes often stand on their rear legs to reach this food.
HedgehogThe Hedgehog populations is finally recovering a bit. These sweet animals are out mostly at night, and you may even find one wandering in your yard. A lot of Hedgehogs find a sad end on the street, since they roll up and are no match for a car tire.
Mouflon
Mouflon have a red-brown short-haired coat with a dark back-stripe, light colored saddle patch, ‘socks’ and under parts. The males are horned; some females are horned while others lack horns. The horn is curved in almost one full revolution (up to 85 cm). Mouflon have a shoulder height of about 0.9 meters and a body weight of 50 kg (males) and 35 kg (females).They were successfully introduced into continental Europe.
Graylag Goose
This species is found throughout the Old World, apparently breeding where suitable localities are to be found in many European countries, although it no longer breeds in southwestern Europe. Eastwards it extends across Asia to China. In North America there are both feral domestic geese, which are similar to graylags, and occasional vagrants
MallardThe Mallard, or Wild duck, probably the best-known and most recognizable of all ducks, is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and sub-tropical America, Europe, Asia, New Zealand and Australia.The male birds have a bright green head, while the female’s is light brown. The mallard lives in wetlands, eats water plants, and is gregarious. It is also migratory. The mallard is the ancestor of all domestic ducks..
MoleAlthough moles burrow, some species are semi-aquatic. Moles have cylindrical bodies covered in fur while the ears are generally not visible. They have small or covered eyes and can probably still tell night from day, although they are otherwise blind. Moles eat small invertebrates living underground. Moles can be found in most parts of North America, Asia, and Europe.
Muskrat
These can be found along the rivers where the waters run slow or lakes with swampy edges. They almost look like a mix between a beaver and guinea pig.
Squirrel
German Squirrels are red and have tiny bushels on their ears, sometimes you can even see a black one. They will even come down in the Winter to plunder your bird feeders.
Hare
Very common here. You will see hares all through the fields, they are similar to rabbits but they are bigger and thinner
ChamoisThe chamois is native to mountains in Europe, including the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, the European Alps, the Tatra Mountains, the Balkans, parts of Turkey, and the Caucasus. Some subspecies of chamois are strictly protected in the EU under the European Habitats Directive
