"The joke's on Goebbels - but can it be funny?"

"A film to be shown on German television tomorrow
marks the end of a taboo that has held sway for more
than half a century. The film deals with the Third
Reich. And it is a comedy. [...] Goebbels und Geduldig
centres on a Jewish cabaret artiste, Harry Geduldig
(his name means "patient"), who is the double of
Hitler's propaganda chief. When Goebbels visits the
camp where he is being held, Geduldig succeeds in
taking his place - and leaves the Nazi bigwig behind,
protesting in vain that a terrible mistake has been
made.Playing what Mr Wessel calls "the greatest role
of his life", the Jewish comedian goes on to address a
Nuremburg rally, before being summoned to meet the
Führer at his mountain retreat at Berchtesgaden."
