Dear Rae Ann,
You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge of 'wot's on  
YouTube' (apart from you own contributions to it).
I suppose Mel Brooks was able to do the Polish thing because of his  
background:

"Brooks was born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn, New York, the son of  
Kate (née Brookman), a garment worker, and Maximilian Kaminsky, a  
process server. Brooks and his family are Jewish; his maternal  
grandparents emigrated from outside Kiev and his paternal family was  
from Danzig in the German Empire."

I await Marek's comment regarding the "SGB" translation with interest.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
PS: As a matter of not much interest, my stepfather's forebears (the  
Haeslers) came to Australia from Prussia in 1853.
