German politics poses a problem for English-speaking Internet users. While there is plenty of material on Germany on the net, very little of it is in English. To make matters worse, some of the sites that claim to have material in English, in fact, have very little of it. In short, finding information on Germany beyond the basics presented here is likely to involve some frustrating surfing time with your favorite search engine.
