Did Germany occupy England?

During World War II, Germany did occupy a couple small British-owned islands off the coast of France and built some military and concentration camps there. Otherwise, the country of Germany has never occupied England. In the 500-600's AD, Germanic people called the Angles and the Saxons invaded England and settled there. Over time, they conquered the Roman and Celtic peoples who were already living there, and the Angle tribe is where the word "England" comes from. But this happened over a thousand years before "Germany" as a single, unified country existed.
