From Flanagan and Allen to Spike Jones and George Formby this classic selection of witty wartime songs shows British humour at its best from the absurdity – and rudeness – of ‘Der Fuerher’s face’ to the inanity of ‘Mr Wu’. There’s plenty of sophistication too, though, as well as a whole host of saucy double meanings!
