Germany has never had its own nuclear weapons. Even now that it intends to rearm on a massive scale, the new government is keen to stress that it wants to build the ‘largest conventional army in Europe’. The absence of nuclear weapons from rearmament has to be stressed because Germany has the means, the material and the knowledge to develop nuclear weapons but has agreed not to do so under two post-war treaties.

‘Veterans Day? What’s that?’ asked a former soldier whom I intended to interview about … erm.. Veterans Day. It’s a new initiative by the German government to honour men and women who served in the Bundeswehr, the German military. How did it go down? The country held the first formal celebration of veterans since the Second World War last Sunday. There were events in each of the sixteen German states, with the main one held in Berlin.

Ich bin diese Woche einmal quer durch Polen gereist. Los ging es mit dem Berlin-Warszawa-Express von der deutschen Hauptstadt in die polnische. Dann weiter nach Augustów.

Was ich auf der ganzen Reise nicht ein einziges Mal gehört habe: Kritik an der neuen deutschen Migrationspolitik.

I’m sitting in a hotel room high above Warsaw as I type these words into my laptop. In front of me, a large panorama window frames the city’s skyline like a picture. The Soviet-era Palace of Culture and Science dominates the scene. One of the tallest buildings in Europe, it towers over the city centre like a real-life Ministry of Truth. In the streets at its feet, trams, cars, and buses whizz by. The steady rumble of traffic fills the air, almost drowning out distant church bells.
