Pozn.: Fitting Dr Goebbels with his surgical boots, and sharing nuts with the Führer, do not appear to be auspicious beginnings to a young Jew’s career. Philip Morgenstern, however, is a resourceful lad.

In Dear Dr. Goebbels, by Neville Smith (R4, 1415, 30 Nov 01), something of Goebbels‘ private life is revealed. Most people have never heard of Morgenstein, but he was offered an honour by Churchill (which he refused because his boss was not offered one) on the strength of the little ditty he wrote making fun of the Nazi leadership and their unfortunate medical conditions, sung by squaddies to the tune of „Colonel Bogey“:

Hitler, has only got one ball
Goering, has two but very small
Himmler has somthing similar
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all
