The articles about many different aspects of German-American relations are very interesting, original and well written. The two carnival hosts have picked the submissions they liked best and present them on their blogs:
Davids Medienkritik has written an English carnival post introducing both English and German articles about transatlantic relations.
Extrablog has written a German carnival post (English translation
