BBC Radio 4's 'Germany: Memories of a Nation' concluded today. The series lasted six weeks.
It can be heard on the BBC player and the podcast will be available for 12 months.
The series was presented by Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum.
It has been a spectacular insight into Germany, past and present. And if anyone wants to learn anything about the soul and life of modern-day Germany and what made it so, then this series is a must.
Obviously the BBC planned the programme to end on the weekend, which is the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Today's episode concentrated on the Reichstag; its association with the unification of Germany, the Weimar Republic, the Nazis, the Red Army, German reunification and today's Federal Republic.
Written on the front of the Reichstag is 'Dem deutschen Volk'. Neil MacGregor translated it as 'For the German People'. Surely it means 'To the German People'.
Thank you BBC.
