Boring? It‘s not offensive or anything, just not funny to me. It wouldn‘t even belong to the category „Schenkelklopfer“. Serious question to you (and maybe others): Where is the joke? What exactly made you smile?
It’s pretty funny. It gives too much credit to Dönitz, though.
In reality, it took him much longer to accept that there was no chance to get out of the war without unconditional surrender. He even tried to carry on governing for a few days after the surrender, before the British just arrested him. The Flensburg government was pretty farcical in itself.

The canned laughter ruins this for me.

Does he even have a “Fjuhrerschein”?
