You can both be the 3rd biggest economy in the world and still only be 1/10th of US+China GDPs combined.
And only three companies in the Top 100 for Germany:

Germany is the kingdom of the "mittelstand": many, many, many SMEs.
Both GP and you are right: it's the 3rd largest economy in the world and yet it's simply not that big.

In other words: I expect this German DNS SNAFU to have 0.000000001% impact on the world's GDP this year.

126 trillion USD * 0.00000000001 = 1260USD
I'm pretty sure the impact was higher than that ;)
