Sadly Germans seem unable to understand that their surplus is not a sign of economic success, but the result of misguided policies that keep the rest of Europe in recession.

...which in turn strengthens the German position, right? In turn giving them de facto economic success?

The surplus is used to accumulate claims on other countries (i.e. Germany is lending foreigners money). Unfortunately, Germany is not going to be repaid in full, so the policy is utterly stupid.
