How it could have been

Is this a Rebafsche family chronicle or a Münchhausiade, i.e. all just a gigantic tall tale?
In volume 1, we start in a time when there was a German East Africa along with another migration direction, as there is today: Europeans, including Germans, emigrated to Africa.
Then comes the time of World War I, when an African named Kamante builds an airplane for the Reichswehr with the type designation "Kamante D 1," the African version of a "Fokker DR 1." It is flown by a favorite of Hermann Göring. After the war, we meet the first illegal immigrant in what is now Tanzania: Wilhelm Bergmann. Is he really Rebaf's grandfather? We then meet half-siblings Annah and Pa-aule, who both lead bizarre lives that are described in a humorous and bitingly ironic way.

C.-A. Rebaf got into literature late in life. His lifelong pursuit of biochemistry, his love of classical music, painting and classical literature repeatedly flow into his texts. His favorite form of expression is the variation of well-known themes and literary texts or scenes.
