German boys did wear Eton collars. We have noted, however, relatively few German boys wearing Eton collars. This may be a reflection of the small number of historical German images. We are increasingly being draw to the comclussion as might have been expected that far fewer German boys wore Eton collars than English boys. Many of the German boys that we notice wearing Eton collars come from affluent families which may have been trying to adopt an English look--considerd vety fashionable among some German circles. I'm not sure what the collars were called in German.
