The Germans and a number of other people on the mainland manage to
store gas for a fair amount of time.

Are you comparing like for like? Space available for storage? Gas
usage?

What is "a fair amount of time"? Long enought to see them through a
major political crisis that results in the pipelines being shutdown
for weeks? Months?
