i'm not sure if you're alluding to something in particular or trying to make a joke.
but saying that its frowned upon to be proud of your own country (regardless of country), is to me, not a nice thing to say.
singling germany out forever because of past events is dis-ingenious.
i would say that anyone whose nose gets bent out of shape because a german says they are proud of their country probably needs to take a second look at germany, and then themselves.
and if a reporter is doing this, then it is most likely just stirring the pot
