Unsure what we gain from knowing about

#NaziGermany
will be framed by ADHD, Autism, and small sexual organs. The intervention by a clinical psychiatrist warning against such conclusions will be lost in the morass of social media.

#BBC
- last night Sir Max Hasting’s defended the BBC against the right-wing media and newspaper barons. If we lose the BBC, Britain will lose something very precious and an important part of the national heritage.

20 years after we met and became instant friends, I was grateful for the opportunity to catch up with my good friend, Dr. Philip W. Blood, on his podcast, “The Historian’s Stammtisch.” He asked some hard questions, and I was happy to answer them.

Back in 2022, we discussed how sanctions against Russia were not working & received a hail of criticism for it. Very pleased to see Private Eye has now altered its City page to address issues like the failure to impose sanctions properly - from 14:40 onwards.

DDR was a major theme at today’s museum visit. The ‘38’ was a popular steam loco on tours. I first travelled with it on a Dresden Railway anniversary in 1983. The diesel is from a class dubbed ‘Ludmilla’ because of their construction in Soviet Russia.
