Sattler, "Die Entwicklung der NSDAP"); Der Fuhrer, 17.

So in one last orgy of confession or fantasy--you choose--a spate of German magazines and books have begun making claims that Der Fuhrer was fruity--but only in the most circumspect and clandestine orchards.

In this wicked spoof, the less-than-scrupulous impresario Max Bialystock (Lane) hooks up with a shy accountant (Broderick) in an ingenious scheme: create the worst show ever, raise funds like mad for it, and pocket the surplus money when the play flops--a cinch, the duo thinks once they've cooked up Springtime for Hitler, a musical about Der Fuhrer himself.
