Not to mention the fact that many other "typical" American things have German roots- "Fahrenheit" comes from the man who invented the alcohol thermometer......who's name was Farenheit.......he was German. Funnily enough we stick to Celcius in Germany.
Or Levis Jeans- the first jeans around....................Levi Strauss actually learned to be a tailor in Bavaria before moving to the States.
And as for freedom of speech- which goes hand in hand with freedom of the press I suppose...........well, the press wouldn't be what they are today hadn't there been a certain Mr.Guttenberg.
So saying that German inventions best not be mentioned actually takes a lot of typical American things away.................and those were just a few examples.
