Imo there's a slight difference, but I wouldn‘t go that far and say there are Dutch that could not pass in Germany. To my observation there‘s especially a distinct Northern Dutch look, where people look in average somewhat differently than Germans as a whole in any case, but also than NW Germans. It probably also plays a role that Germans have been put through the grinder after WW2, drastically expressed.

Most people here, including the OP, have essentially applicable imaginations of Dutch and Germans. Considering this, the question is far too undefined. So 80% of the time people will unnecessarily talk past each other.
This is an unbearable popular nonsense. I'll refrain from speculating with what intent this post WWII "insight" may have become distributed.
Germany exists as an own political entity since 843 when the East Frankish Empire evolved, which was then continued as the HRE till 1806, so alomst for thousand years. There were only 9 years of interruption till the German Confederation was founded in 1815 expressly as its successor. This lasted till 1866 and there were only 5 years of interruption till the German Empire of 1871 was founded.
What makes Germany having a "young" political history? To have had in sum 14 years of interruption in over 1000 years of existence as a political entity?!
Or the HRE having contained also non-German areas like Northern Italy? Then you would also say that Russia has just a very "young political history", because the Soviet Union and tsarist Russia doesn't count because it comprised also Khasakstan, Armenia etc.?
Spoiler!

It is interesting because the Dutch are thought of as a generally 'longer-faced' population by European standards, but I guess there are phenotypical extremities; with more extreme Nordid types AND more extreme Borreby types. Coon and co. mentioned that the Dutch were metrically the same as the English and 'old-stock' Americans (who were/are of mostly/almost entirely/entirely English ancestry). He also emphasised that the Dutch population could be described as being a predominantly Nordid population with Upper-Paleolithic influence (Anglo-Saxon). However, a great swathe of Dutchies tend to have big, heavy jaws on a level that you don't see in England.

I have also thought the Dutch looked more Scandinavian
