Berlin is sold on Hitler

The stage version of Mel Brooks' comedy "The Producers" - which famously contains a lavish production number called "Springtime for Hitler" - is now playing in Berlin in a theater that once contained a box for the fuhrer. Martin Sommerlatte, dressed as Hitler, plays for laughs in that big production number.

It has been a stressful few months for the man who decided to market Hitler in Berlin. But for the last several days, Falk Walter says he has enjoyed "the deepest sleep I've had for an age." The reason for his contentment is the swift box-office success of an in-your-face production of "The Producers" at his iconic Admiralspalast theater.
