Peter Thiel, founder of Palantir, grew up in Swakopmund, a Nazi German colonial city on the coast of Namibia, near the city of Lüderitz, where up until the 90s there were still swastikas, Hitler's birthday was celebrated, and the inhabitants greeted each other with "Heil Hitler". The Namibian coastal colonial German cities of Swakopmund and Lüderitzere key in the first genocide of the 20th century, perpetrated by Germany against the Herero and Nama peoples, whose atrocities served as a model for the Nazi concentration camps three decades later.
