Why do British and German state leaders never seem to get along? Margaret Thatcher couldn’t bear the sight of Helmut Kohl and Angela Merkel is reputed to have a very low opinion of Boris Johnson. Ever since Benjamin Disraeli encountered Otto von Bismarck at a Vienna conference, top British and German politicians have failed to see eye to eye. Katja Hoyer and Oliver Moody try to work out why.

Break out the beach towels and reserve the best spot as we attempt to untangle the Anglos from the Saxons, the Boche from the Britishers and the Tommies from the Jerries.

Historian Katja Hoyer is a German living in England. Journalist Oliver Moody is a Brit living in Berlin.

Between them they plan to discuss the past and present of Anglo-German relations. 

Why have German chancellors and British Prime Ministers so rarely got along? Why are the Germans obsessed with British comedy? And what have the Romans ever done for Britannia and Germania? 

No stereotype too embarrassing, no war left unmentioned, as the German in England and the Engländer in Deutschland do their bit for post-Brexit freundship.
