I would propose changing this point


Hogan cracks a joke about the German Labor Front's work program "Strength Through Joy" (Kraft durch Freude). His joke appears to refer to an even more nasty one, made by the Germans themselves about the true meaning of the motto, as described by author William Shirer in his book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Hogan cracks a joke about the German Labor Front's work program "Strength Through Joy" (Kraft durch Freude), that Klink has kept up his "subscription to Strength Through Joy Monthly". His joke appears to refer to one made by the Germans themselves about the true meaning of the motto, as described by author William Shirer in his book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich - "Usually a girls' [Labor Service] camp was located near a Labor Service camp for young men. This juxtaposition seems to have made for many pregnancies too. One couplet - a take-off on the "Strength through Joy" movement of the Labor Front, but it applied especially to the Land Jahr of the young maidens - went the rounds of Germany: In the fields and on the heath I lose Strength through Joy."



I don't think that this is really "nasty" in this day and age, but I leave the decision up to you.
