2. I like the idea, but I fear
that not only will many not get it, they may take it totally wrong and think you are trashing Germans. Or, that you don't like Germans because they aren't supporting the war and we will 'never again' help Europe. Or some such stupid thing.

3. Many would see and go "What?"
Great thought, but goes right over many peoples heads.

7. i don't really have TOO much problem with
going over people's heads, sometimes. sometimes that "what?" is the start of a conversation.
but it has to be clear enough for someone to buy it in the first place.

4. I get it, but you can only speak for yourself.
You may proclaim never again for yourself, but I'm afraid you're largely surrounded by Good Germans.

Are you a Good German? might be better.
