Ironically, it was Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, who first linked Germany to the Huns. Speaking in 1900 to German soldiers waiting to sail to China to help lift the siege of Peking in the Boxer Rebellion, Kaiser Wilhelm told his troops to fight “like the Huns under their King Attila a thousand years ago” so that “the name of Germany shall become known in China to such affect that no Chinaman will ever again dare so much as to look askance at a German.” “Pardon will not be given, prisoners will not be taken. Whoever falls into your hands will fall to your sword.”

Not as far as it is known, but as I wrote regarding another related question (whether they were Asian), not all Germans look the same as Americans think they are supposed to. My father was from Germany and he had at least one relative who had the same slightly "Asiatic" eyes or exotic looks. Remember that the Germans also intermingled with Romans, Celts, Huns, and 10% of Germans even have Jewish ancestry today. There are many "looks" to Germans.
