You are right, but they (at least those who have contact to "foreign"
people) should be _able_ to supress theit accent.

Ich bin mal in Dresden gelandet. Der Koffer war unterwegs kaputt gegeangen
und ich mußte in irgendein Büro. Die Dame dort wollte wissen, was der denn

warum ich nicht antworte ;-)
