Persia didn't exist in this point in time. Later it would be conquered by the Parthians, but those were steppe nomads, not true Persians, and their elite fought mounted, not on foot. So, unlike the Spartans, the Persians immortals were well and truly gone.

As for the Germans not using tactics, that's just plain wrong. Germans did not employ army drill like the Hellenes and Romans did, but they were skilled ambushers and generally less impetuous than the Celts. The German spear phalanx probably represents the shield wall, which was commonly used by lesser Germanic warriors.
