The word "man" has more than one translation. I don't think that this thread is the right place to talk about grammar. You may write a pm.

But German fighters (international volunteers) also supported the other side.
That waiter was/is a blockhead and a shame for his country.

I think that reaction is explained through the spanish civil war. Barcelona was a stronghold of the second republic while germany supported the facists.
You recon the waiter was a civil war vet ? Or had a grandpa in gernica ? Maybe that's overestimating the history awareness of that guy... did you wear the wrong football club colours ?
I remember my father telling me he was quite welcome in barcelonas pubs - and that was the 50ies.

I am not a soccer fan. Besides he wouldn't have said, "no germans, no germans".
