This sounds more like post-hoc justification for war. It isn't exactly novel to paint the enemy as "not like us" or as having that one trait that happens to make them a dangerous people.

I've only been to Berlin, so I haven't noticed much of this in Germany (Berlin is very hippie-hipster), but I think you will have better luck observing the phenomenon in Bavaria, which is generally regarded as more old-fashioned, strict and conservative.
