Dead Funny: Humor in Hitler's Germany by Rudolph Herzog

(The picture is first posted by PAUL CONSTANT on MON, MAY 30, 2011 at 10:07 AM, under the article title "A Study of Humor in Nazi Germany" on SLOG, The Stranger; re-posted from: SLOG: NEWS & ARTS; the book cover you see on Amazon's website is different.)

Today, I came across an interesting book on humor in Hitler's Germany. The subtitle of the book alone amazes me. I believe most people wouldn't have believed in such a research topic before they saw the book. To match the surprise offered by its subtitle, the humor of the main title is very, very dry.

A few quick links are posted here for those of you who are interested and also for my own reference in the future.
