There is another genocide committed by the German state in the 20th Century that is often overlooked, that of the Herero and Nama people in German Southwest Africa, present-day Namibia.

This is part two of the short videos I did I on German Colonialism with Maliha.

It was so nice learning about “Fat Herman” from Alex (@AventuraObscura). What a lovely voice he has, too.

This was an especially nice day to record: the official 1 year birthday of Whitlam’s Berlin Tours - we stopped for beers afterwards 😊

I snuck an ad for my audio tours into this short video 👀

It’s meant for the other platforms really, but no harm sharing it here!

🥒 Have you tried Spreewald Gurken?

🧭 The Spreewald is a short train ride South of Berlin

🌲 There in the forest you’ll find a cute network of canals,

🏠 traditional houses and architecture,

🥒 and a whole lot of pickles!

🌶️ My favourites are the spicy ones

Back when I managed a walking tour company I would always book Ryan when I wanted to impress customers, and I would always send new guides with him to learn their trade.

His knowledge, storytelling ability, and professionalism are all top class. But you already knew that.

🥒 My photo was recently shared by @BVG_Kampagne which landed them in a bit of hot water with the media
