I'm not sure if this has been analysed on here recently, but I stumbled upon this today.

Deutsch Mark here we come?

    Germany is the Eurozone, if they pulled out the thing would cease to exist anyway.

    The Euro will not survive whilst Germany is still a member, but a Euro without Germany is unthinkable :eek:

    I don't know about the article itself, but found the comments most illuminating. Seems I'm doing the right thing by having loads of bank accounts with savings in different places. Makes you think that perhaps people with premium bonds have been doing the right thing!

    Thanks, OP, I found this fascinating (and where is Generali to comment when you need him!!).
