I don't see why you're adding the two numbers together. The external debt numbers are clearly goofy on that page.
Germany's total national debt is less than it's GDP, so it can't have an external debt to GDP ratio above 100%.

My point is it's very very hard to find the number of real external debt, I wouldn't be surprised if for example after auditing the fed USA has some huge external debt to God knows who some foreign banks...maybe it's just speculative conspiracy but I don't bielieve govt numbers and they never mention "external debt"

Gotcha.
The official numbers are here, but I don't see any breakdown by specific debt holder.
