Comedies that Adolf Hitler watched in his bunker in 1945. Stand-up from German concentration camps. Jokes banned in Nazi Germany. All this is in the first episode of Sergei Izotov’s podcast “The End of History.” About the humor industry in the Third Reich.
Inside: archival photographs, film excerpts, musical numbers, cartoons and verbatim (well, almost!) reproductions of jokes and monologues.
What comedies were filmed in Nazi Germany? Why did some comedians become propaganda darlings and leave their Jewish wives for the sake of their careers, while others went into exile and wandered around Europe in poverty?
Why was Sex and the City actually invented by the Nazis? How were the bodies of tortured prisoners used in concentration camp productions? Why did the mockumentary appear under Hitler? And how did the Nazi comedians end their lives after the war?
We answer all these questions. So, we have a premiere!
