Yes, Sir, I had picked up on that. There are other versions that use the film to illustrate declines in Hitler's (supposed) margin account that lead to forced liquidation.

But like any good parody, there is a kernel of truth. I think it may illustrate the reaction some people have to reduced circumstances - to losing their granite counter-tops, if you will. And although we do not witness such raging, I cannot help but wonder how many times it occurs in homes across the country.

I agree - telling Hitler that the war was lost would not be a pleasant task.
