GERMANS are using footage of Gordon Brown to create hilarious spoofs of Hitler's last days in his Berlin bunker, it emerged last night.  It's all in the timing Dortmund-based sales manager, Gunter Schroll, who has had more than two million views of his spoof video, said: "When he starts shouting and pointing I have him saying, 'this is treason! Treason, I tell you!'. "Then, when he seems to point in the direction of Herr Balls, I have him saying, 'and here, at the end, is it only Goebbels who will remain by my side?'." A spoof by Herman Dopplinger, a student from Cologne, uses footage of Mr Brown attacking Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, but the caption reads: "Are you telling me the Russians have captured the railway bridge? My God, they are only 12km from the centre of the city!" Mr Brown then adds: "They should hang the entire leadership of the Luftwaffe!" In Dopplinger's version the desperate prime minister is shown turning towards the Speaker, Michael Martin, and saying: "Wenk is advancing with the 9th army. He can join up with the 12th and deal the Russians a final crushing blow." But then, with a look of weary resignation, he adds: "Even if an advance is successful I will just end up in another troublesome situation." The craze has inspiried other spoof videos including Brown as the manager of relegation-threatened Borussia Monchengladbach and the prime minister reacting to the final of German TV talent show Deutchland Kann Singen. Dopplinger added: "I know people in Britain might find it tasteless, but it's really just a bit of fun." |
