S2E10 TUNING IN - ENIGMA’S BIG BERLIN SISTER

Send us a text

Love it or hate it - Berlin can and will keep surprising you. Sometimes those surprises will be less welcome but sometimes they will make your day, your week or even your next 20 years.

Like this story did for me. In the last episode of Season 2 of the podcast, let me take you to a place I fell in love with from the go. Not a palace or a fancy apartment house - a factory site in Kreuzberg. Few of the former could put you on the trail that leads to history of espionage, history of small Berlin industries growing very big indeed and of machines battling each other first in war and then decades later for the pleasure of it.

Enjoy !
