2. Adolf Hitler

AH

Recommended by Anne Hegerty

“@quantick I love that book. I love Edgington and the band members.” (from X)

WW2, Military Memoirs, Humor, British Army, Comedy

'At Victoria station the R.T.O. gave me a travel warrant, a white feather and a picture of Hitler marked 'This is your enemy'. I searched every compartment, but he wasn't on the train'. Spike Milligan's on the march, blitzing friend and foe alike with his uproarious recollections of army life from enlistment to the landing at Algiers in 1943. Bathos, pathos and gales of drunken laughter, and insane military goonery explode in superlative Milliganese.
