In 1996, in the middle of watching an ill-tempered football match between England and Germany, Philip Oltermann's parents tell him that they are going to leave their home city Hamburg behind and move to London. Inspired by his own experience of both countries, Philip Oltermann looks at eight historical encounters between English and German people from the last two hundred years: Helmut Kohl tries to explain German cuisine to the Iron Lady, the Mini plays catch-up with the Volkswagen Beetle, and Joe Strummer has an unlikely brush with the Baader-Meinhof gang. Keeping Up with the Germans is a witty look at the lighter-side of Anglo-German relations over the last 100 years. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

But he's also someone who like us has watched a lot of television. So this serves as a lively and still informative counterpart to the BM tome "Germany: Memories of a Nation" (reviewed here in 2015).
Plenty to enjoy, and his hilarious accounts of "Dinner for One" or of Berti Vogts on "Tatort" will send you straight to YouTube. ( )
