    As fas as I'm concerned, weakening Germany's exports would be a good thing for most Germans. It'd force the adoption of policies which strengthen internal demand (aka getting money into actual people's hands).

I think it'd be more likely that the people in charge of Germany's economic policies would just ride the storm. The hub bub about a boycott would probably die down relatively quickly, then it'd be back to business as usual.
