I’m an American who moved to Germany and it’s rough. I was a curious kid and enjoyed every subject except for history in school, so I retained a base level of knowledge in most of those subjects. I did not in history, and my dumb ass realized a couple of years ago that I wasn’t confusing them, there was both a Thirty Years’ War , and a Hundred Years’ War.
Anyway, I’ve been slowly educating myself about at least German history, and it’s a lot easier to get into it as an adult.
Depending on you proficiency in German (and potentially to help improve it), I can recommend the podcast “Geschichten aus der Geschichte”. It’s two historians presenting interesting historical topics to each other, ranging from Arctic expeditions to Zanzibaran princesses. Other topics include the Saxophone, Axolotls, supposed werewolves and Polynesian wayfinders (really, there’s no limit except it needs to be historical).
