The Bavarian area of Germany?

Hitler was Austrian and at least in Germany people use this saying with Italian Mussolini style fascism or even just German

I know it started in Munich but calling it Bavarian in origin is a bit unusual

It’s just a skooch of humor, not an academic treatise.

Oh, I see you’re in Germany. Well, that probably didn't come across the same as it did here. Sorry - carry on.

Bavaria is the Texas of Germany; the only state most foreigners know of.

Maybe a reference to the München putsch?

Most people know the geography of your home like you know the geography of theirs: not really.
