You may not know his name but I'm pretty sure you have seen the man on the pictures here. If you have been to Berlin a few times and decided to enjoy the amazing nightlife this city has to offer you have come across Komet Bernhard at least once. His is less than a symbol but more than a mascot to the Berlin Nightlife and you will understand what I mean after you watch the documentary below.

These extraordinary and never-before-seen home movies were filmed by a German-American family who visited Berlin and Germany during the Olympic Games in 1936. They give a good idea of what a tourist might have experienced. The film begins with shots aboard the liner Deutschland during the trans-Atlantic crossing, including a visit to the ship's bridge, dancing on deck to music provided by the ship's band, and more.

I watched this short video from Kreuzberg in 1979 and wonder how much can a neighborhood change. I walk around the Kreuzberg streets of the video below without thinking about how different this neighborhood was less than 35 years ago. But everything was different back then.

You have to see Make Me a German below as a British joke on Germany. If you don't see it like that, I don't think you will enjoy it as much as I did. If you do, maybe, it will help you with some things that tricked me for a while. Like how productive Germans can be, how much do they love beer and potatoes and, of course, how they take care of children.
