'''''Schweik in the Second World War''''' (''Schweyk im Zweiten Weltkrieg'') is a [[play (theatre)|play]] by [[Germany|German]] [[dramatist]] and poet [[Bertolt Brecht]]. It was written by Brecht in 1943 while in exile in [[California]], and is a sequel to the 1923 novel ''[[The Good Soldier Švejk]]'' by [[Jaroslav Hašek]]. It is set in [[Prague]] and on the Russian Front during World War II. It is a satirical tale of a common man, Schweyk, who is forced into war and manages to survive. He overcomes dangerous situations in [[Gestapo]] Headquarters, a military prison, and a Voluntary Labor Service. The ending finds Schweyk lost in a snowstorm near [[Stalingrad]]. He meets an equally lost and bewildered [[Hitler]], whose path is blocked by snow, frozen corpses, the Soviet Army, and the [[Germany|German]] people. Finally, [[Hitler]] does a grotesque dance and disappears into the snow. |
