Dead funny

Humor is one of the deepest expressions of human culture.

I don't think there is a genre that ages faster than humor. (accept slapstick).

So I found it interesting to learn about humor in Nazi Germany.

It was an interesting read, and I was surprised on how well Herzog summerises the strategic situation in the different stages of the war.

I was a bit put off by how Herzog makes sure to tell me how I should interpret each joke he quotes.
It is clear that his is an apologetic work intended to refute claims that humor in the third rich was a form of resistance to the Nazis. But Herzog is laying it a bit too thick.
