For the ordinary people of Nazi Germany, resistance rarely took the
form of active political or economically disruptive activity. But a
great many people expressed their disgust through jokes and humor.
In "Underground Humour in Nazi Germany: 1933-1945," F. K. M.
Hillenbrand compiles a collection of jokes, stories and cartoons
representing covert popular opposition which took humorous form.
Even this was dangerous, as an ill-judged moment of wit could lead
to the camps; but the Nazis themselves recognized the impossibility
of stopping anti-Nazi jokes.
Not all Germans living under Hitler succumbed passively to the rhetoric and horror of the Nazi regime. Covert popular opposition in the form of humorous resistance was wider spread than is commonly thought. Embracing jokes, stories and 60 cartoons, this is the only collection in English of underground anti-Nazi humour. It is, as such, an invaluable contribution to the social history of twentieth century Germany.
