i found this interesting documentary about a topic you don't think would get along too well, comedy and joke and the nazi regime. this documentary i found tells the story about how comedians found ways to mock and crack jokes about the nazi regime and what happened when the regime found the joke in bad taste.

 
to everyone who took the time to watch the video, did you find it interesting, and what was your favorite joke made in the video?

Excellent find.

What I couldn't help noticing, that the Wehrmacht soldiers didn't have the bolts removed from their rifles while marching in a parade.
 
The last minute of the documantary sums it up.

"But I know really great men can take a joke.
They'll even laugh along."

Adolph Hitler had his Gestapo and concentration camps.

Barack Obama has Eric Holder, the Department of Homeland Security and the IRS.

The parallel being, that Hitler and Obama weren't great men.

But the documentary was political.

And I see a parallel with comedy during Nazi Germany and today in America.

Put a mustache on a picture of President G.W. Bush, everyone has a laugh. Put a mustache on a picture of President Obama and the left isn't laughing, people are being accused of being racist. See the parallel ?
