This is good to know, jerry always felt short for German even if it actually comes from first WW1 helmets. I've always been a little conflicted by kraut though, e.g. when talking about Krautrock so I'm glad it's mostly seen as humorous[1]. Personally, I find the terms limey or rosbif as terms for us Brits quite funny too for similar reasons. Growing up I've had Irish people apologise to me for others calling me a "Brit". This was doubly funny to me at the time as both my friend and "insulter" both really thought of it as a pretty bad insult. Still makes me smile today, I mean it's what we call ourselves. :D 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krautrock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krautrock
