Famous Germans throughout history include physicist Albert Einstein, inventor of printing technology Johann Gutenberg, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and composer Johannes Brahms. (TNG: "Descent"; ENT: "Borderland"; TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")
Germany was an Axis power in World War II, seeing one of its darkest periods in history under the leadership of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. (ENT: "Storm Front", "Storm Front, Part II"; TOS: "City on the Edge of Forever"; VOY: "The Killing Game", "The Killing Game, Part II") One such dark part was the bombing of Dresden in 1945, during which Starfleet officers Scott Fack, Anne Cobry and Antonio Ramirez stopped an alien invasion from spreading beyond Dresden. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Hemorrhage")
Some of Scott Fack's ancestors lived in Germany. His father was born there, near the border with Denmark. (Star Trek: Minnesota: "Dirge")
Lieutenant Commander David Glass of the 172nd Search and Rescue Squadron was half-German in descent and was raised in the Ruhr River Valley of Germany. (Star Trek: Voyager - Dark Realm)
