In most European countries, it is a given that we can buy sandwiches at any proper bakery.
Those that only sell bread and nothing else, are very few and slowly going away.
Thus maybe the other way around, as sibling comments are pointing out.
Substitute "most European countries" with "most Bundes of Bundesrepublik Deutschland" and you will be closer to the truth. Otherwise, I'd rather doubt it. To say it bluntly, Europe != Germany
Nope, because that is indeed what happens at least in plenty of Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French and Greek bakeries that I have bumped into across my European travels.
One thing is right though, many Germans think they are unique on this.
I'm from Spain. Yes you can find bakeries that sell sandwiches, especially in areas for tourists, but I would argue this is not the norm generally speaking. Bakeries for locals rarely sell sandwiches.
