Deutscher Michel

From Freepedia

Deutscher Michel is a personification of the German nation, much as Uncle Sam is for Americans and Marianne for the French. He is usually personified wearing a nightcap and nightgown in the colours of the German flag and represents the Germans' conception of themselves, especially in his easy-going nature and Everyman appearance. He also represents the innocent and simple person who must endure and fight against tyranny and injustice.
