I never meant to suggest that Germania was contoured. Such an implication was never made. I happen to know that it's possible that my (specifically my) ancestors were slaves because of my family records. I also know there were many (estimated in the tens of thousands) Germanic slaves serving under the Roman Empire. Only Central Europe was conquered by Rome.

Or maybe they haven't made a movie about that yet...

Organization...You mean like almost all Latino immigrants taking one day off work in order to show what their contribution would be?
BTW, if someone wants me to 'take a lesson' or who guesses I "don't know [my] American History", they should make sure I'm wrong first or at least ask me to clarify my position in case they are misunderstanding.
