No. They are not related. The claim is zionist propaganda nonsense put forward by israeli disinformation and propaganda outfit "sorcha faal". Germany has a highly industrialized economy that the US cannot compete with and the jewish occupiers of Germany are desperate to prevent a link up between German industrial competency and Russian natural resources, hence the German race is always the target of abuse for a judeo-nigger country like the US.
Angela Merkel is a puppet of the jewish military occupation of Germany. There are no secret Nazis running the world. Everything that is going on in Germany with refugees is a direct result of the jewish Morgantheau Plan to genocide the German race because the Anglo-Zionist nigger complex cannot compete no matter how many times they instigate a war against Germany.
