The funny thing is that we used to do a lot of business with Sweden before all that crap went through. Sweden, France and Germany are all huge on Cowboy Action shooting, and Germany also has a large U.S. Civil War reenactor community.
I got the biggest kick out of the way they talked - and I do not mean this in any negative way. Since these guys were used to reenacting "America," and their local CAS or reenactor rules generally required them to speak English when dressed out, they all tried to adopt the Hollywood version of a Southern or Western accent - or at least some of the phrases they heard.
The Swedes often sounded like they were from upper Wisconsin or Minnesota, and I doubt any of the locals from that part of the country could have sussed them out as foreign.
The French would often sort of cheat with their "American" accent, and take on personas of Cajuns or French creoles. This often sounded more like a French Canadian accent than a Cajun one, but one dude from Paris had the accent down pat. He sounded just like that old chef on PBS, Justin Wilson.
The Germans, though, mostly sounded like Arnold Swarzenegger doing a John Wayne impression. I kept trying to tell them that they could have just leaned into it and claimed they were Texasdeutsch (
