It is actually related to Godwin's law. In the early internet days, when people argued and it devolved to name calling then comparisons to Hitler or Nazis, Godwin's law was called. Since no one knew Godwin, someone, one day on the interweb, just said Germans.
At first Germans was just for a thread that was played out if even Godwin's law was not attained... Then, Germans also morphed into threads that were old news or repeated threads.
This has been your inter webs history for the day..
