Why did most Germany hate the French so strongly?
The root of the conflict starts way before most people are aware of. Back in the middle ages, Germany was not a single country. It was a collection of states similar to ancient greece. These states were ruled by princes (essentially kings) that would occasionally fight but for the most part stayed united as one big country. Because of this, whenever the French would attack Germany, the French would usually win and kill thousands of Germans. This made the Germans hate the French. However after Wilhelm the first was crowned Emperor of Germany, the country was officially united. When the French tried attacking shortly after in a small war, they were crushed. This made the French also hate the Germans. Later in World War 1, the Germans and French were (not suprisingly) on opposite sides. The Germans rushed the french killing millions but the tides turned on the Germans and they also lost millions. A similar spectacle happened later in World War 2. The blood of the millions of civilians slaughtered by German and French forces along with a history of French raiding German lands caused the hate that is present between the countries today.

Strictly for decoration. Military hats and helmets have been decorated since they existed.

Who was the first and last president of Germany?
The question is a little vague. The first ever president of Germany was Reichspresident Friedrich Ebert (born 4 February 1871 in Heidelberg, died 28 February 1925 in Berlin) who held the office from 11 February 1919 - 28 February 1925 (died in office).
The last Reichspresident was Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg (born 2 October 1847 in Posen, died 2 August 1934 at Gut Neudeck estate, East Prussia) who held the office from 26 April 1925 - 2 August 1934 (died in office).
The first post-war president of Germany (Bundespäsident)was Theodor Heuss (born 31 January 1884 in Brackenheim, died 12 December 1963 in Stuttgart) who held the office from 13 September 1949 - 12 September 1959.
The last Bundespäsident was Horst Köhler(born 22 February 1943 in Skierbieszów, Poland), who held the office from 1 July 2004 - 31 May 2010.

What ethnic groups and religions do people in Germany mainly belong to?
The vast majority of Germans are of the Nordic race. They are similar to the Dutch and the Danes and even the English. After the war, Stalin forced the expulsion of ethnic Germans from the Volga region of the Soviet Union back to Germany. The Polish government also expelled Germans from East Prussia back to Germany after the war. Germany, today, is the home of over 3 million Turks. They are primarily concentrated in Berlin. After the war, there were few German men that were available to help rebuild the bombed-out cities. Over 5 million German soldiers were killed during the war. In the 1950's, Italians and Portuguese also came to Germany or at that time, West Germany, to find employment. There is a sizeable Moslim population as well. The Roman Catholic Church and the Lutherans are the 2 largest religions. The Muslims are probably the 3rd largest now and growing. Unfortunately, there are less than 20 thousand Jews left in the whole country. One must understand that religion doesn't play much a role in society. I doubt if 10% of the population attends church regularly. The Germans who experienced the horrors of World War 2, lost their religion after being brainwashed for years by the Nazis and seeing all the carnage and destruction heaped upon them-including my parents!
