3062 - SB2 - Hitler..... not


Here's a video that is first on my old list. It was posted to Youtube in 2006. It's a Hitler spoof in German. I was probably going to have Bilbo translate it for us.

It's pretty easy to translate ... most of it is "Hitler" marching and shouting "One, two, one, two." He orders a torte and a lady in the cafe calls the police because of his antics. Jews run from him, thinking he's nuts. Why someone would want to do this is beyond me. For a more nuanced and interesting spin on this theme, there's a book I'm working my way through by Timur Vermes titled "Er ist wider da" ("He's Back"). It's in German and I don't think it's out in English yet, but it's an interesting look at how a Hitler who somehow (magically) survived World War II might cope with the age of the Internet and the 24 hour news and media cycle.

This is truly odd and interesting.

Glad Bilbo could throw some light on this, and I'm also curious about why someone would want to do this. I did understand the One, two, one, two, as my grandparents spoke some German when I was a kid. I remember my grandfather telling a story in German that involved some horses.

If something can be thought of, someone will either have done it or will be doing it as soon as it's possible. There's also no accounting for taste or humor. What people like, they like. That can be a good thing...

Mike, hope all goes well for you and yours. You deserve a break but I'll miss your blogs being daily. I've gotten a lot mileage from the Saturday joke about the young couple awaiting midnight. Thanks!

Allen - I'm not going into total hiding. I'm just going to clear out my blog file without much fanfare in the posts.
