Suggested material for Adof fans
Maybe something by David Irving or Nick Griffin perhaps??
Seriously though (apart from the excellent 'Downfall' DVD):
'Fatherland' by Richard Harris - also 'Archangel' for Josef (Stalin) fans by the same author.
Both highly recommended.

To be honest I know bog all about it but I suspect the 'do their own stunts' was part of the publicity when selling the film at the time. If you were Keaton or Lloyd and running a business ( a real one ! ) why risk your neck needlessly if you could employ a bit of trickery instead.
Keaton and Lloyd were involved in the early days of motion pictures. They developed many of the techniques used in later films.

Now someone will tell me it was all a myth.

I second The Great Dictator*. There's also a Don Delillo novel about a filmstrip of Hitler in his bunker doing a Charlie Chaplin impression - can't remember which one it is, maybe Mao II or Running Dog
"Hitler-Stalin: Parallel Lives" is a legendary & readable hatchet-job too.
*the Chaplin film, not the actual dictator.
