In 1996 the then 15 year old author moved with his parents from their home city of Hamburg to London, where Philip's father had been offered a post by his company.At that time, he says, everybody hated Germany - even many of the Germans themselves: that year the German-born population of the United Kingdom was 227,900 - more than Pakistanis, Jamaicans, Americans or Australians. The Germans, on the other hand, had an admiration for England, especially in Hamburg, despite the destruction wrought on that city by British bombers during the war.The book sets out to describe the differences between the two countries.Food: British cuisine is described as dreadful (and his first dinner in a British home was indeed pretty grim. But, by and large, the worst of British cooking was by then surely behind us?).The German emphasis on Gemeinschaft is compared with the British one on Gesellschaft.He notes the traps of the ever flexible English language for those thinking in long, convoluted but structured German. He compares the clarity of Ayer's exposition of philosophical ideas with the obscurity of the pretentious (a typically English derogatory adjective) Adorno; the pragmatism of English compared with the metaphysics of German philosophy.The crude British teenager's obsession with sex, the more active because of the single sex education the author experienced at his boarding school. The British had an image of especially Weimar Germany as more sexy than anything available in England (here his examples of differences are taken from the 1920s). Raucous and drunken British Christmas parties are compared with the solemnity with which Christmas is celebrated in Germany.He discusses the German concept of Bildung and the immense pride Germans take in the high-status titles of Dr or Professor: 58.5% of chief executives in German businesses sport a Ph.D. (1.3% in the United States). The negative connotation of "clever" in England.The countryside: the English love rivers and the coast, and for them the countryside is essentially gentle and civil; for the German it means vast forests (the English had cut their down for timber) or rugged mountains "to conquer".English and German windows, toilets, thresholds come in for comparisons.He contrasts the Beetle and the Morris Minor, and then uses car-manufacture in Britain and Germany to highlight differences in attitude to industry and industrial relations.There is the obligatory chapter on the difference between British and German humour - humour being analyzed in descending order of ponderousness by Herr Adorno, Herr Freud, - and Herr Oltermann (though he is now Mr Oltermann and on the staff of the Guardian).He is savvy about the media, films, pop music, football. (He took an interest in football late - but, boy, does he make a meal of it once he had!)A book about the Baader-Meinhoff group had been called "Hitler's Children" and gave the appearance that violence was still endemic in the Germany of the 1970s, while left-wing radicalism in Britain confined itself to T-shirts and the punk lyrics of The Clash. On the other hand, Oltermann contrasts the noisy childishness of set-piece confrontations in the House of Commons with the sobriety of debates in the Reichstag: Germany has in fact undergone "a revolution of the mind" which asserted itself after the hysteria of the 1970s, and which has made Germany genuinely democratic. To that "revolution of the mind" he attributes the bloodless reunification of Germany (though I would have thought that this had - to put it mildly - at least as much to do with the mind of Gorbachev (not mentioned) as with that of the churchgoers of Leipzig.In his epilogue, Oltermann says that "England has become more German in the last ten years", but "Germany has become more English, too": these days English politicians express the idea that Britain should be more like Germany (the only place in the book where its title seems to me to have some relevance). The young Englishmen he knows love Berlin, while the younger Germans have shed many "German" characteristics and has become more relaxed and ironic like the English. And yet, he suggests, the English may talk the talk, "but do they understand the grammar?"The book is suggestive and often entertaining about national differences, though perhaps Oltermann sometimes makes certain incidents he recounts too representative of the two cultures in general. There are also a couple of historical slips: he has "Prince" Louis Philippe deposed in 1848, and the King of Prussia crushing the 1848 revolutions by joining forces with a "gang of aristocrats and generals led by [sic] Otto von Bismarck".
What an enjoyable look at what divides (and only seems to divide) Brits and Germans. Light in tone, Oltermann uses his own life story and well-chosen examples of inter-cultural contact as a window for looking onto the nature of "national character."
