Is there a special connection between Japan & Germany/German language/culture? I've only watched three animes (NGE, Legend of the Galactic Heroes & Brynhildr in the Darkness) and they all have some connection with Germany:

NGE: Asuka is part German/speaks German, German names like Seele,...
LotGH: Galactic Empire is basically the German Empire in Space
BitD: Kazumi is part Austrian/speaks German, German names like Hexenjagd, German writing in the middle of Japan,..

Then there's shit like this:

So what's the deal? Was there some sort pf cultural exchange during WW2 or something (I know anime is pretty big in Germany compared to the rest of Europe), is there another reason, or am I just seeing ghosts here?
