Carnival!!!! German American Relations Volume 1, Number 4

The next edition of the Carnival of German American Relations is up and has a great number of articles regarding the relationships between our two countries, past, present and future. This Issue of the Carnival (the 4th) was started in December 2005 by myself and Joerg Wolf who writes at Atlantic Review. You know me, but Joerg too always has provocative things to say.

This issue of the Carnival is hosted by Dialog International and covers posts written in English. some of the excellent articles include "American blogger David Houle sees Berlin as the "city of the future" in his inspirational post, but he is also haunted by the past as he walks around the city." I can identify with his feeling, I love Berlin though I've only been there twice, my memories are indeed Golden; the first time I was there was in the mid 50's with my dad and I was 9 or 10 years old. I remember vividly "Checkpoint Charlie," and was there again on September 11, 2001, a fateful day to be sure.

Read all of the posts picked by Vicker, it's worth your time.

There is also a German blog (with some English picks as well) hosted by Liberale Stimme Online. In all, and even though my German is fairly rusty the pickings are good.

The Next will be on December 11th, catch that one too.
