Hello,

I had a meeting with some Germans this morning. I am working on a new
webshop with lots of details to trip us up.

So I offered up both the English idiom "the devil is in the details" and
the Danish equivalent "the beauty is in the details" (Danes are big time
complicators).

They told me the closest German equivalent: "the devil is a squirrel’"

Warm Regards, Brian
