The Good Soldier Schweik

The Czech military banned this novel ('filth'); the Nazis burned every copy of it they could find. Joseph Heller later said if not for Svejk there would have been no Catch-22.
I should add that as well as one of the funniest novels ever written, it’s also one of the rudest. It savages aristos, army brass, organised religion and idiot bosses without mercy.
But you wouldn’t want to read THAT, now, would you...?

I didn't read the book (yet), but I saw the tv series with Fritz Muliar. It was wonderful. I also saw the tv series with Ruehmann. It did not compare to the one with Muliar. If you can find it somewhere, make sure you see it.
