It's 97% but total gas storage capacity it quite low so it's easier to fill.

True, but other large EU members also did a better job replenishing their stores:

For instance, Italy has more storage capacity per capita despite very similar consumption (~10TWh/1mln population) and they're already at 86%+.

Meanwhile indeed Poland has much less storage (about a third of Germany per capita), but it also uses it less (half the consumption of Germany per capita).

I must ask: what the hell are the Germans waiting for?
