Greetings Readers!

Thanks to the steadfast efforts of my dear, antipodean friend Tim Colwill, Eroberung has been resurrected from the ashes to rise once more with renewed purpose!

However, as a blog dedicated simply to the writing of Memoirs of Conquest, Eroberung’s remit was rather self-limiting and (as can be evidenced by the gaps between posts), it was often difficult to find the subject matter necessary to sustain regular posting. The other handicap of this mono-focused strategy is it denied me an outlet for wider (and lengthier!) commentary and social engagement, for which other platforms are not best suited.  Thus, whilst I am by no means abandoning Memoirs of Conquest (upon which I continue to make steady progress) and items related to it will continue to feature on the blog, I have decided to expand Eroberung’s remit to include, “a general blog for Ross’s misanthropic and machiavellian musings (often including diabolical political diatribes, obtuse observations about life as an Englishman abroad, and various hobby-related shenanigans)”. This gives me the capacity to talk at greater length about leaving England and life in Germany, my own constantly evolving political and philosophical outlook, and my various passions and hobbies.

The upshot of all this? Expect to see much more of Eroberung from now on…
