anti-German

Hostile toward Deutschland

Anti-German means opposed or hostile to Germany, German people, or German culture.

The term appears most often in historical contexts—particularly around the World Wars, when anti-German sentiment ran high in Allied countries: Anti-German riots broke out in London after the sinking of the Lusitania.

It can describe policies, attitudes, or propaganda.
