so Germany is not a superpower I've read about on the internets? 😵 was manufacturing their main economic source? what about tech, medicine, some resources, services? that's so weird to read about Germany as a 'downward spiral' economy︀ and country, very unusual, it was always praised and considered the main economic power of︁ EU along with France and UK back then 10-12 years ago. What about France though,︂ does it go different direction or similar to Germany?
