Till stora delar avsiktligt torr text om tyskland och tyskar under och efter andra världskriget (en sorts undersökning av den tyska mentalitet som skapade nazismen och sen levde under och efter den?), avsiktligt torr och ibland, politiskt, tendentiös; bortsett från avsnittet "Schinke" som avviker genom att vara något helt annat, genuint rolig, vansinnig, en sorts Bernhard innan Bernhard.
