There’s an age split there but the true split, especially for older generations, is much more along the old GDR border and also the occupation zones. I live in the former american occupation zone and being at least fluent enough in english to entertain a conversation with a stranger in a bar in a sort of “also using your hand and feet” type way is fairly common. Same with the british sector.
It’s an oddly understudied field I believe. But like, wherever the americans were, you can really feel their influence. Like straight up “a lot of muscle cars or US trucks on the road” type shit, or certain fast food options you wouldn’t otherwise find. And in the british sector, they have left an enduring cultural memory of “getting hopelessly fucked up by midnight” despite things not closing at midnight here

It’s the military bases. The closer you get to military bases, like say the one in Ansbach, the more American vehicles you’ll see. Usually the fuckhuge pickup trucks.

Virology is probably the appropriate field of study here.
