Why did the shape of the recovery from the subprime crisis differ in Germany and France?

There is now a much interest in the shape of the economic recovery after the COVID crisis and how it will differ from one country to the next . This leads us to look at the recovery in the wake of the subprime crisis: why was it faster in Germany than in France? We imagine the following possibilities: Germany was more capable of taking advantage of the recovery in global trade; Labour market rules allowed a faster recovery in employment in Germany; Profitability and investment recovered faster among German companies; Fiscal policy was more stimulatory in Germany; Bank credit picked up faster in Germany. Of these five possibilities, only the first two seem to have applied ( benefiting from the recovery in global trade and the significant use of short-time working in Germany). Could these mechanisms lead to a faster recovery in Germany than in France after the COVID crisis also? This is not clear: the recovery in global trade is going to be slow, and this time France has also made significant use of short-time working schemes.
