Erm, excuse me. The main roadblock for German tourists on the
way to the Italian beaches, as any fule 'nows, are Dutch
caravans. ;-)

Yes, but the Cloggies cheat: they've got this clone factory hidden
somewhere, and they forgot to turn it off before going on holidays...
how else do you explain the *huge* traffic jams during august in .nl
when there's alreay a few hundred million cloggies in France?

Quite simple: the traffic jams on Dutch roads are caused by Germans with
caravans on their way to digging enormous holes in the Dutch North Sea
beaches, or to sailing, badly, on the Friesian way.
I've spent quite a few hours on Kampen train station, waiting for the
train or bus. Until the new road was built, that crossing was a
continuous traffic jam every summer day. More than once I've counted
number plates, and over half were German.
