I have always believed there is much more to the EU than meets the eye. Germany is definitely the dominate country in the EU. And Germany historically has been an aggressive, power seeking nation – always. They’re militaristic in their bone marrow. I can visualize, in time, Germany taking over the EU and making Europe the greater Germany. That was a goal of Hitler’s in WWII. Of course, Britain, Poland and Hungary would cause some problems but Germany would prevail.
Call me a nut case?? You are probably right, but think about it, do some research.
Not only are you not a nut case, but consider that during the reign of Napoleon, there WAS NO GERMANY. There were Prussian kingdoms who formed coalitions (there were at least six or seven that tried to bring down Napoleon) to fight off whoever.
Germany itself is historically recent as a country. Significant if you consider they spent from 1900 to 1945 trying to go from being a country, to ruling the world.

Except for an important fact, and one you didn’t mention, your prognosis would be very accurate. However, since the end of WW-II the German psyche has been radically transformed by virtue of the universal and never-ending condemnation brought on by the Holocaust. As a result, the German martial spirit has been extinguished, and that once-proud race of warriors is gone forever. My family came here from Germany, I’ve traveled extensively throughout the country in recent years, and to me the transformation is palpable.
