This is a question I'm going to Hell...

...because I said the Lord's Prayer backwards at a funeral to summon up the Goat of Mendes, Freddie Woo tells us. Tell us why you're doomed.

Thanks to Kaol for the suggestion

Yes, and I love Mel Brooks stuff!
Well, most stuff before "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". He lost his mojo with that.

However: Mel Brooks has the advantage of:
(a) He's a genius. He takes a controversial subject and makes the Nazis objects of derision.

(b) He's Jewish, and is therefore less likely (than a CofE girl with no known Holocaust victims in her family) to attract flak for writing something that could end up offending a lot of people.

(c) He handles stuff sensitively, although humorously. I'm not a sensitive person. At all.

The Nazis didn't just persecute Jews
They also went for Romany Gypsies, the mentally ill - even down to people suffering from severe depression were gassed, Poles, Czechs, Slavs, Negroes, the disabled, communists, etc. Excuse the use of archaic terms, but how else does one explain the lunacy of it all?

There is something for everyone.

My own (now tenuous) German side of the family were turfed out of their country home which was then turned into the HQ of the local Gestapo.

oh yes.
I do know all about that. I think when I saw "Jews" I mean "everyone affected" - I just tend (as I think many people do) to just group all victims under the banner of "jews", to save typing out the (huge) list of people that were persecuted.
