Franz Liebkind
Franz Liebkind (Liebkind being a humorous calque into German of the English idiom "love child") is a former Nazi soldier who has penned an admiring musical tribute to Adolf Hitler, titled Springtime for Hitler. The two protagonists, Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, purchase and produce this "worst play ever written" as part of a plot to defraud investors by overselling and staging a sure-fire flop.
