There’s a story of a British jeep chasing a Kuebelwagen until their radiator blew — and then the German crew running in circles around them making smart remarks until their oil level dropped and froze their engine.

Probably apocryphal, but it’s physically possible.  There’s another story of a German pilot running out of ammunition during the battle of Britain — but still flying close enough to Allied bombers to allow them to see him making faces at them.

The stories probably say more about German excess of stubborn, lack of fear, and an overdose of smart-assedness.  You might think they’re stiff people, but get them riled up and watch what happens. You’d better hope they’re not drunk when they do it.
