Apparently, Hitler's propagandists believed Plum's breezy account of his misadventures as British Civilian Prisoner 796 would lull U.S. hostility by picturing the Nazis as good-natured nitwits in the inane, innocuous image of Cyril (Barmy) Fotheringay-Phipps or G. D'Arcy (Stilton) Cheesewright...
...readers of U.S. magazine ads, Great Britain is a land of rare roast beef and rich Stilton cheese, fox hunts and elegant cars, castles and thatched cottages. It is peopled by snobby, sophisticated men who wear tweeds, raincoats and aloof looks. They drink only tea, Scotch, sherry, or gin and tonic.

The solutions developed in Jeeves's think-tank may seem a little watery to the highbrow-critic chaps. But looking at the rosier...
