What is a nickname for Germans?

There are many nicknames for Germans, some historical, some affectionate, some derogatory, depending on who is using them and in what context. Internationally, the most well-known English nicknames are Kraut, which comes from Sauerkraut and was widely used by Allied soldiers in both World Wars, and Fritz, a common German first name short for Friedrich, also used by British and American soldiers. In British English Jerry was also very common. Within the German-speaking world, Austrians call Germans Piefke, which is slightly teasing and refers to a supposedly arrogant or loud German tourist. In Switzerland, Germans are often called Sauschwaben or just Schwaben, though technically Swabia is only one region. Germans themselves sometimes call themselves Almans, a term that started in migrant communities to describe a stereotypically German person who is very punctual, rule-abiding, and organized, and it has now been adopted humorously by many young Germans. Historically, Teutons or Teutonic refers to an ancient Germanic tribe but is used poetically for Germans.
