Eine etwas andere Geschichte der britisch-deutschen Beziehungen der letzten 200 Jahre. Philip Oltermann lebte bis 1996 in Hamburg, bis seine Eltern beschlossen, nach England auszuwandern. Aus dieser Perspektive nahm er sich 10 historische Ereignisse vor, um das Verhältnis zwischen den Briten und den Deutschen zu beleuchten. Dieses Buch zeigt die unterschwelligen Einflüsse und komischen Missverständnisse, die in dieser mitunter etwas schwierigen Beziehung immer wieder entstehen.
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.
