Summary
If you want to discover the captivating history of Germania, then pay attention....
Germany is a relatively young nation-state. United in 1871, it's even younger than the United States. However, the territories inhabited by the Germanic people have a rich history that reaches far back in prehistory and antiquity. Located in the heart of Europe, Germany witnessed centuries of conflicts, immigration, and negotiations. Consequently, its shape, size, and ethnicity changed throughout history. The territories which constitute Germany today were often war zones, and at times they would join forces against a common enemy or break apart due to internal conflicts. Because of these conflicts, Germany’s boundaries, as well as what it means to be German, fluctuated throughout history and, in some way, are still evolving. The region's long and troubled history influences its present, its politics, and its nationality.

A COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNT OF THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF GERMANY
An absolutely fantastic audiobook covering the birth and growth of Germany from the Paleolithic age through to modern times. It is narrated in an easy to follow manner. As I listened to this account, I marvelled at how clever the German people were. I definitely recommend this audiobook and will listen to it again.

Really interesting weird narrating
I really enjoyed listening to this, and enjoyed the detail and storytelling. I also kind of liked the narrator who has a nice vice, but it does sound like he's an AI. The intonation is a bit odd and robotic. Didn't get in the way and was a lovely listen.

Anything but captivating
I suppose this works as a list of facts. how much better than Wikipedia it is it’s difficult to say. story telling is dull, the writing is pedestrian and the narrator has the annoying habit of pronouncing many common words in an idiosyncratic fashion
