ED and International Drivers Permit (the one you get from AAA)

Guys:

I have only driven in Europe a couple of times and both times I got one of these from AAA. I'm not sure why, and I don't recall ever being asked for it (although I tossed it on counter at rental car desk).

A google search shows mixed opinion as to whether it is total BS or it is required/helpful.

Not even sure I have enough time to get one (I leave 8/31), but does anyone know the real deal here? In case it matters, I'll be driving in the Alps, so may criss-cross several borders in addition to Germany.
