HRE-wank, Kaiserwank, Weimarwank, Naziwank, Technocracywank etc.
Losing World War II seems prohibitive for a Germanwank, but well, there are still Ameriwanks though OTL is Ameriwank enough, we already talked about it some time ago, but I don't remember where.
But I asked myself if OTL present it at least a Federal-Republic-of-Germany-wank from the perspective of the immediate post-war decades.
A reasonable number of reasons why you could say YES:
Germany is reunited.
Germany was extremely lucky about the way the Cold War ended, reminding it had been the proposed major battlefield.
Germany had engaged in external warfare (bombing Serbia), being ahead of Japan in this way, even with a Green(!) foreign minister in charge for the first time.
Germany is virtually in each club which has a major say in world affairs, except having the permanent seat in the UNSC which is just due to difficult majorities changing the procedure.
Germany is a factual center of gravity in European affairs and fully accepted as that by its neighbours (at least not less than other nation likes France and Britain, it's about Germanophobia), again ahead of Japan.
Just as Japan, the heritage of the post-war economic empire building.
other ideas?
A reasonable number of reason why you could say NO:
It never recovered its pre-war eastern territories, which today is of course of lesser concern as a people who's reluctant on paying Germany in its 1990 borders would be more reluctant of major resettlement attempts. But from a 1950s' POV, it's rather a diswankage. Transitionary restrictions on buying land after the EU admission of Poland were the result of a fear of Re-Germanization, which is disputable seeing aforementioned reluctance to pay the own brothers.
Though Strauß thought about having nukes, Germany never built or got any. You could assume that a country like Germany would have nukes if India has nukes as well nowadays.
