Was German always considered an intimidating/scary language or are we conditioned to think that way because we see Nazis speak them in movies?

Before Nazi Germany, was the language considered such an intense and harsh language?

Some partial answers that might be helpful from this exact question being asked before. Per the rules I should ping the usernames of the people that posted answers, but I'm not sure u/glubi, u/Bernardito, u/hxnt, and u/dahlemjv really want to follow up on a comment from seven years ago, haha.
