''Der Deutsche Michel'' (literal. "The German Michael") is a figure representing the national character of the German people, rather as John Bull represents the British and Uncle Sam represents Americans. ==Overview== Such figures differ from those that serve as personifications of the nation itself, as Germania did the German nation and Marianne the French.〔Eric Hobsbawm, "Mass-Producing Traditions: Europe, 1870–1914," in Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger, eds., ''The Invention of Tradition'' (Cambridge, 1983), 276.〕 He is usually depicted wearing a nightcap and nightgown, sometimes in the colours of the German flag, and represents the Germans' conception of themselves, especially in his easy-going nature and Everyman appearance. In German, ''Michel'' is also the short form of Michael, though quite rare today.
