  Book Description
  Publication Date: April

  In Nazi Germany, telling jokes about Hitler could get you killed
  Hitler and Göring are
standing on top of the Berlin radio tower. Hitler says he wants to do something to put a smile on the Berliners’
faces. Göring says, “Why don’t you jump?”
  When a woman told this joke in Germany in 1943,
she was arrested by the Nazis and sentenced to death by guillotine—it didn’t matter that her husband was a
good German soldier who died in battle.
  In this groundbreaking work of history, Rudolph Herzog takes up such
stories to show how widespread humor was during the Third Reich. It’s a fascinating and frightening history: from
the suppression of the anti-Nazi cabaret scene of the 1930s, to jokes made at the expense of the Nazis during WWII, to
the collections of “whispered jokes” that were published in the immediate aftermath of the war. 
 
Herzog argues that jokes provide a hitherto missing chapter of WWII history. The jokes show that not all Germans were
hypnotized by Nazi propaganda, and, in taking on subjects like Nazi concentration camps, they record a public acutely
aware of the horrors of the regime. Thus Dead Funny is a tale of terrible silence and cowardice, but also of occasional
and inspiring bravery.
  
  
  Reviews
  “Dead Funny isn’t just a book of wildly off-limits humor. Rather, it’s a fascinating,
heartbreaking look at power dynamics, propaganda, and the human hunger for catharsis.”—The Atlantic, Best Books of 2012
  
  “A concise, compelling
book.”—The Independent
   
  "Fascinating...
Intriguing....Herzog, the son of the film-maker Werner Herzog, shares his father’s curious and mordant wit."—The Financial Times
   
  “Dead Funny’s real value lies
in the way it situates anti-Nazi folk humor in the shifting historical context of this grim bygone era, and the fact
that the author is able to resuscitate such obscure jokes verbatim is a phenomenal feat … [the] book’s
strikingly original historical research sets it apart from the glut of dry tomes which are still being cranked out about
Nazi history.”—Time Out (New York)
   
 
"Chilling....[Herzog] shows, in unadorned language, the process of propagandising and the psychological capitulation of
many Germans to the Nazis’ will."—PopMatters
  
 
“Herzog’s thesis is that, during the Third Reich, Germans relished jokes about their leaders. Throughout
Hitler's 12 years in power, there were plenty of caustic gags doing the rounds—about Dr Goebbels’ club
foot, or Hitler's limp Nazi salute, which made him look like a waiter carrying a tray, or the widely held suspicion that
Goering wore his medals in the bath.”—The Guardian
   
 
“Herzog demolishes the idea that Germans didn’t know what the Nazis were up to: there were many, many
concentration camp jokes. Germans under Hitler seemed to find it natural, and kind of funny, that
‘troublemakers’—including Jews and dissidents—should end up behind barbed wire.”—Macleans
  
  Praise for the German
Edition
  "A thrilling book."—Der Spiegel
  
 
"The first comprehensive book on comedy and humor in the Third Reich. [...] The author brings together all
manifestations of humor--wit, newspaper cartoons, cabaret, variety shows, entertainment, film, pop songs, and
musicals... An important history."—Suddeutsche Zeitung
  
  About the Author
  As a director, Rudolph
Herzog is best known for the crime series The Heist, which aired on Channel 4 (U.K.) and was called
“riveting” by The Daily Telegraph. His documentary on humor in the Third Reich, Laughing With Hitler, scored
top audience ratings on German Channel 1 and was also broadcast in English translation on the BBC. The son of the
celebrated filmmaker Werner Herzog, he lives in Berlin.
  Jefferson Chase is
one of the foremost translators of German history. He has translated Wolfgang Scivelbusch, Thomas Mann and Gotz Aly,
among many others.
