The German media are going bozo about the latest discovery in the
Russian film archives in Moscow, where most of the films
in Germany ended up in 1945.
They found an original, full length, Laurel and Hardy film in excellent
condition with all the cast speaking German - NOT dubbed and
not directed by Leni Riefenstahl.

BTW the German name for L+H is "Dick und Doof"  ie Fat and Stupid. This
would have been better
applied to Hermann G?ring
( later known as Meyer, after announcing to the press that" if allied
bombers reach Berlin you can call me Meyer")
