In my opinion Amiga User International is the best U.K Amiga
magazine, but you would knock your head against the wall if
you compare it to some of the German offerings, especially
Amiga Magazin from Markt und Technik (or something like that)
which I regard as the best of the bunch, much more stuff than
any other magazine I have seen, and even though the games are
there, they are tucked neatly in the end with half a page each
instead of a double page with nothing but lousy blown-up 
screenshots like in AUI. Mind you, half a page in the German
magazin equal about one page in AUI due to smaller typeface
which too, gives it a more professional look.

Pretty close, but try a six part series on C, machinecode, intuition
or whatever, Markt und Technik's got it!

Well, I would have, but my account is closing tomorrow :-(
I hope someone else will show you what amiga magazines _can_
be like.
