there is standing: So stellt sich das amerikanische Show-Publikum "Germany" vor...."
so means that the american think that people from Germany look like in this way.

i´m wondering because Tirol is not Germany. are you sure that they had tyrolean connections? it also can be a group of Bavaria, Germany which would look similar.
both is possible....
it looks for "Schuh(shoe)platteln".
