Stereotypes - German, Italian, Polish?

Please dont be Politically Correct with me... I am looking for the common stereotypes that you know or have heard of when it comes to Germans, Italians, Poles.

I am not a racist or going to believe any of these stereotypes you share with me... I was having a discussion with some co-workers and we are just interested in finding out what stereotypes are out there for our heritage.

    Yay! Time for me to be non-PC. Okay, these don't go for all of the German/Italian/Poles of course. In fact I'm guessing mostly because I've only met 2 of these 3 peoples in real life.

    Germans - big, blond, blue-eyed... follow orders well... drink beer, eat sausage & sauerkraut, make really disgusting porn, generally can be cold to other people in their work ethic... called a Nazi if they are even remotely conservative (this is actually true)...

    Italians - very affectionate, emotional, friendly people, they have the best food, they are sometimes dark skinned making people call them mulattos when they are actually white... ride around Vespas all day and going to cafe's to get with girls whom they affectionately call "Bella"... constantly eat various forms of pasta... are infamous as being horrible soldiers - after Rome they never won a single war they fought in almost. They surrender easily in a fight (again this part isn't all false).

    Poles - names and surnames hard to pronounce, surnames sometimes ending in 'wics', make nice pickles, got 0wn3d by the Germans in WWII, got 0wn3d by the commies after Germans, making them a generally miserable people.
