German turned around to reveal knickers, perhaps? (12)
I believe the answer is:
undergarment
'knickers perhaps?' is the definition.
(knickers is a kind of undergarment)
'german turned around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'german'+'turned'='germanturned'
'germanturned' with letters rearranged gives 'UNDERGARMENT'.
'to reveal' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for undergarment that I've seen before include "Pants perhaps" , "drawers, maybe" , "Item of clothing worn next to the skin" , "Eg, vest or pants" .)
