I agree very much. South German dialects especially can be totally
fascinating. Spoken High German has a very unpleasant ring to me,
however, at least in many speakers.
Northern dialects are interesting too, but in principle perhaps the
Low German ones are dialects of Dutch and not of German? Or perhaps
Dutch in principle is a dialect of German? There is a Dutch navy and
army, though...
